Benagil
Portugal, Portugal
Benagil is a picturesque fishing village in Lagoa municipality, Algarve region, southern Portugal, renowned worldwide for its stunning Praia de Benagil beach and the iconic Benagil Cave (Algar de Benagil), a dramatic sea grotto with a natural skylight illuminating golden sands and turquoise waters.
Accessible only by kayak, SUP, or small boat tours from nearby spots like Carvoeiro or Portimão due to narrow access and no swimming inside for preservation, the cave draws crowds for its ethereal beauty amid limestone cliffs and arches sculpted by Atlantic erosion.
Visitors enjoy cliff-top views, nearby Praia da Marinha hikes along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, snorkeling, and boat trips revealing hidden coves, making it a must-see for nature lovers seeking Algarve's geological wonders without on-land cave entry.
