This small beach was chosen as a haven for sea people. Nestled between two promontories, the beach is protected against much of the weather that has always threatened the lives of fishermen. When the shelter of the small bay was not enough, faith was the other port of the navigators who, following an ancestral mystical impulse, built the small hermitage of Our Lady on the sacred promontory. da Rocha. For those passing through the Municipality of Lagoa, a short leisurely walk to the headland and its chapel is unavoidable. From there you can see the two bays - Praia Nova and Praia da N. Sra. da Rocha, with its traditional fishing center coexisting with an intense bathing activity, in a sand that barely reaches 90m in length. With any luck, groups of dolphins can be seen playing in the distance. (automatic translation)
