Benagil

About

The world-renowned poster child of the Algarve coast, the natural grotto with its occulous and secluded beach should be on every visitor’s ‘must-see list’. Depending on your dedication, there are multiple ways to view the cave, and the coastline. The driest is a short walk, which allows you to view the cave from above. To see as much of the coast as possible, boat tours from praia de Benagil will zip visitors through a series of coastal caves. For those looking to get their feet wet, it’s also possible to rent kayaks and paddle over to the cave. An additional advantage of going under your own power is that you can actually stand on the beach and take your time enjoying this natural wonder.
