Beach·Algarve

Praia de Benagil

A fishing cove and the launch point for the famous Benagil sea cave — golden sand, kayak rentals, and cliff boat trips.

EssentialDon't miss it.

Visit solely as a transit point to witness the iconic sea cave; the tiny, crowded beach itself offers little reason to linger.

Best time to go

Summer for calm cave visits; skip on rough-sea days.

Car

Helpful

Why go

Not for the beach alone but for the iconic Algar de Benagil sea cave a paddle away — a cathedral dome open to the sky.
