Rocha Baixinha is a peaceful area in the far east of the long Falésia Beach and a favourite destination for many of Portugal's politicians. The beach is split into two areas, Rocha Baixinha Oeste (East) and Rocha Baixinha-Leste (West). Both beaches have been awarded blue flags.

The beach has become a bit of a surfing hotspot. The wind drives the waves onto the shore and you can get up on your board in the rough swell, windsurfing and kite surfing are also worthwhile a go. The current and the coastline are perfect for riding the Atlantic waves.
