Praia Nova

Praia Nova stretches along 300 meters of golden sand, bordered by tall limestone cliffs that form natural walls along the Atlantic coast.

The eastern promontory features a fortification and the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rock, which has protected the coastline since medieval times.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices along this section of the Algarve coast, bringing fresh catches directly to nearby restaurants.

Access to the beach requires descending stairs from the cliff top parking area or passing through a 60-meter tunnel from Nossa Senhora da Rocha.

Fossilized marine creatures remain visible within the tunnel walls, preserving evidence of the region's geological past from millions of years ago.
