About Rocha Beach House

Born in 2016 at Praia da Rocha, Algarve, as Rocha Surf Shop, Rocha Beach House is the dream of Carlos Barão and Patrícia Pereira — a couple deeply in love with the ocean. What started as a small surf shop has grown into a multi-concept space where surf, healthy food, community, and coworking come together.

A Space with Soul & Style

Step into Rocha Beach House and you’ll immediately feel the energy:
good vibes, creativity in every detail, and the soul of surf inspiring everything we do.
This is not just a store — it’s an experience.

From surfboards and SUPs to technical wetsuits and accessories,
along with our sustainable clothing line and the best international surf and lifestyle brands, Rocha Beach House has everything for those who live and breathe the ocean.

More Than Just a Place

Rocha Beach House isn’t only a shop, a bar, or a coworking space. It’s where passion meets style, where surf meets community, and where everyone feels at home.

Step in, feel the vibe, and discover what it means to live the Rocha way.

Open All Year

Summer or winter, Rocha Beach House keeps its doors open.
Praia da Rocha is our home — and we want it to feel like yours too.

Surf, Style & Ocean Vibes

Surf Lifestyle for Everyone

Surf is for everyone — and so is Rocha Beach House. For surfers and ocean lovers, for travelers, families, and even those who just want to soak in the beach vibe. Beyond equipment, you’ll find clothing, footwear, and accessories from iconic brands like Rip Curl, Billabong, Birkenstock, Hurley, Nixon, Quiksilver, Roxy, RVCA, FCS, Ocean & Earth, O’Neill, Reef, Globe Skateboards, Creatures … and many more.

Community & Experiences 

More than selling products, we believe in creating moments and connections.

Surf & SUP: board rentals, lessons at Praia da Rocha and the West Coast, and SUP tours through hidden gems like João d’Arens.

Events & Workshops: community gatherings, skill-sharing, and activities that bring people together.

Coworking: our boutique space designed for digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and locals who want to work with the sea just outside the window.

Surf, Eat & Chill

In 2022, we launched the Rocha Poké Bar, our take on fresh, healthy, and local food.
Colorful bowls, natural juices, and specialty coffee — the perfect fuel after a surf session or just to enjoy a sunny beach day.
