Senhora da Rocha is a small fishing community and beach on the Algarve in Portugal. The beach is one of the most rustic ones along the coast and was used as a refuge for small fishing boats in the area.
The beach is flanked by cliffs. At the west end is a promontory on which is the old Fort and Shrine of Nossa Senhora da Rocha. A tunnel has been excavated through this promontory to link Praia da Senhora da Rocha with Praia Nova on the other side.
The fact that the beach/Praia da Senhora da Rocha is protected by cliffs is not only a great advantage for the fishermen, it also offers shelter to tourists when the wind is very strong.

A Praia da Senhora da Rocha tem um areal de dimensões razoáveis.
As pontas da falésia nos extremos, protegem os banhistas em dias mais ventosos.
As águas são calmas. Aqui, costumam existir inúmeras embarcações pesqueiras.
No topo da arriba a Oeste, erguem-se o Forte e a Capela de Nossa Senhora da Rocha.
As redondezas imediatas estão recheadas de empreendimentos turísticos.
