Starting on 15 July, the Sports Area of Praia da Rocha will once again be a prime meeting point for those who wish to stay in shape during the summer. Activities such as fitness, water aerobics, yoga/pilates, Zumba, volleyball, beach soccer, volleyball, and beach tennis will be available. These activities can be enjoyed until 13 September as part of the municipal project “Summer Sports Activities – Stay in Shape at the Beach,” aimed at the general public, especially those coming to Rocha for their holidays.
