Benagil Caves, Lagoa

Benagil, a small fishing village on the southern coast of the Algarve has earned its reputation in recent years thanks to its incredible cave made by the sea. However, there’s much more than just a cave to explore in this picturesque Algarve destination.

Located along the south coast of the central Algarve, between popular tourist destinations such as Praia do Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra, Benagil has long been a favourite for local residents looking to enjoy the warm summer on the beach or explore the caves and rock formations.

Benagil’s great reputation is due to the cave located right next to the beach. This great cave has been featured prominently on lists of the best destinations and “must see” places on the internet, and thanks to tourists sharing impressive photos of it, it has become one of the first things to do in the Algarve.

Getting to the cave has become easier than ever thanks to its popularity and the increase in boat trips, not only from Benagil but from other locations.
