Praia Nova, in Porches near Lagoa, is a small and scenic beach set beneath the cliffs of Vila Nossa Senhora da Rocha. Its golden sand, clear Atlantic water and sheltered feel make it a memorable stop along this stretch of the Algarve coast. At one end of the beach, a natural cave offers shade and a striking place to watch the waves break against the rocks, while the surrounding cliffs are ideal for a short coastal walk and photographs.

One of Praia Nova’s most distinctive features is the tunnel through the rock that connects it with the neighbouring Praia da Senhora da Rocha, adding a touch of adventure to a day by the sea. Access is via narrow, fairly steep steps, so comfortable footwear and care on the descent are recommended. The beach has a quiet atmosphere and no restaurants or services directly on the sand, so bring water, snacks and anything else you may need.

Nearby, the small chapel of Nossa Senhora da Rocha sits on the headland, with parking available in the area for those arriving by car. Sea conditions can vary, so take care when swimming, especially on rougher days.
