Benagil Caves

Highlight • Cave

This well-marked hiking trail between Praia de Marinha and Praia de Vale Centeaes is popular for its breathtaking views and the beautiful rock formations that hang over the water. The path is easy for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness, although there is some scrambling here and there. You can start the walk at different points, but a nice starting point is Praia Marinha. It is best to go to the equally breathtaking caves by boat (or if you are a very good swimmer)

View of the Natural Arches at Praia da Marinha

Highlight • Viewpoint

Praia da Marinha is a beach in the Algarve, the southernmost Portuguese province. It belongs to the administrative area of Lagoa and is located in the so-called "Rock Algarve". Many holidaymakers from the nearby resort of Carvoeiro, about 5 km away, use the beach for swimming, diving and snorkeling. There is a free car park here (but you should get there early!). It is the starting point for the coastal hike to Benagil.
