Praia da Rocha Baixinha

A bit tacky in places but full of bars & restaurants... some not that great. A nice big beach that is very clean though. It's the kind of tourist places where you can get a full English breakfast basically.

The neighborhood around Praia da São Rafael is the most scenic area to stay in Albufeira, albeit quite a bit outside the town center. There are some very nice hotels and accommodations here and you have easy access to some of the most beautiful beaches of the Algarve – Praia da São Rafael and Praia dos Arrifes.

Praia da Rocha is an all year round holiday destination, known internationally for having one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Algarve. One of its most popular stretches of sand, Rock's Beach, owes its name to the rocks that rise between the sand and the sea.
