Family holidays in the Praia da Rocha resort of Portugal have something to offer kids and adults alike. These fun-packed Algarve holidays are sure to keeps both children and their parents entertained, with a full schedule that will leave everyone hoping your trip never ends. The Algarve is one of the sunniest spots in Portugal - and indeed all of Europe - and as luck would have it, the area is also home to a 2km beach. Visit the Praia da Rocha on any day of the year and despite its popularity with Britons and other tourists, you are sure to find somewhere to park your deckchair, due to its huge size. Here you can relax and work on your tan while poring over a good book or listening to your mp3 player. Meanwhile, your kids can be free to entertain themselves by paddling in the warm sea, playing beach games such as football or frisbee, building sandcastles or exploring the unusual rock formations that dot the length of the sand. If you don't want to let your little ones swim in the sea or fancy a break from the salt water, the whole family could move up to the Oceanic swimming pool at the nearby harbour. The Portimao marina is the perfect place to swim, stroll or simply relax with a cool drink and enjoy watching the luxury yachts come and go. Meanwhile, there are also plenty of places to grab a bite to eat, whether you are looking for a quick sandwich to keep you going until the evening or you wish to sample some local delicacies. Once your appetite has been satisfied, kids of all ages might like to visit the Fortress of Santa Catarina de Ribamar, which was built to protect the locals from marauding pirates, while parents may enjoy finding out more about the history of this fort. When you have had your fill of sun, sea and sand, why not take a stroll along the avenue that runs the length of Praia da Rocha beach? The road is lined with shops, bars and cafes and when evening comes it is also home to a busy and exciting nightlife - which could be the perfect spot for parents to return to once the kids are asleep and safely in the hands of a babysitter. All in all, a visit to the resort of Praia da Rocha is sure to keep the whole family happy - and it may well be a place you want to return to for many years to come.
