[2025 Lagoa Attraction] Travel Guide for Benagil Cave (Updated Apr)

The Algarve coast in southern Portugal is one of my favorite places. The area is home to endless stretches of beaches and spectacular sea caves. When nature touches the limestone with seawater, various amazing coastal landscapes and sea caves are formed, which is the magical power of nature. In mid-June the temperature in southern Portugal has risen to 28 degrees, but the water in the Atlantic Ocean is only 18 degrees. This temperature is perfect for enjoying the cool sea in summer🌊 #PortugalTravel #beaches #romanticgetaway

Here, you'll find Praia da Coelha (Fisherman's Beach) just a stone's throw away. Its unique charm is simply breathtaking. At first glance, you'll see white houses reminiscent of Santorini, making you feel like you've stepped into a dream.

I highly recommend staying here for a night, slowing down, and fully experiencing the warmth of the sun and the gentle evening breeze. It's truly delightful 😍. Continuing along the edge of the beach, you'll discover a charming harbor and Albufeira Marina (📍Marina de Albufeira). There are so many ways to enjoy yourself at the marina!

Lagoa, Faro District, Lagoa, a city rated as the most suitable for living in Portugal, where there is wanton sunshine, endless beaches, and flocks of migratory birds... ⛺【Must-see】: Navy Beach (Praia da Marinha/Marinha Beach) is one of the most iconic beaches in Portugal and has been rated by the Michelin Guide as one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Europe and one of the top 100 most beautiful beaches in the world. Benagil Sea Cave If you come to Lagoa, you must go to the Benagil Sea Cave, known as the "Eye of God". Because there is no normal berth here, larger ships cannot approach, only small boats can dock, usually following the locals. The boat moves along the cliff, sailing along a waterway between the two rock walls, slowly approaching the destination. After years of wave erosion, the largest natural cave in Portugal was formed. Looking from the inside out, it is like standing on an unknown planet, exploring the light hole on the top, the rock layer is rich in color, and it changes endlessly with the sunlight. 🛬【Travel Tips】: Here you can enjoy cocktails or a few small dishes by the sea, look at the blue sky and white clouds, and feel the gentle sea breeze. The town is not like a popular tourist area, full of tourist commercial atmosphere, here you can only absorb and integrate everything locally, and feel the exotic customs. You can also follow the locals to go fishing at sea and experience a different life.

#2023travelwish #tripblazers #portugal This year's trip to Algarve Portugal was beautiful. Portugal's southern coastal region really surpised me how different it was to the capital. Having only one airport in the region we found it easy to travel from the Faro airport city to our final destination in Lagos- a 2hour train journey but it was well worth it! We went there for the relaxed vibe. We visited the famous Benegil cave and Carvoeiro town with lovely colourful hours. We did a crazy thing and walked 4 hours from one town to another taking the route along the cliff edges in flip flops! Highly recommend visiting there it was one of our highlights as well as Portimao's beautiful beach. Next year 2023 I hope to visit Kyoto, Japan again as it has been a while since I went to Asia as of Covid!

#Overseas travel #Portugal The Benagil Caves are located in southern Portugal! There are tours departing from various southern coastal cities such as Faro, Portimão, Lagos, and Albufeira. It's so beautiful that I highly recommend it as a course.

The famous cave known from postcards and insta posts. You can take a tourist boat to get there, but most likely you won't be able to get off the boat and walk around in the cave. You rent a kayak or sup board (or bring your own). If you are a good swimmer, you can swim there too it's not far from the beach. But the waves in the cave can be very strong and huge, I saw people with kayak flipped over and we had to get off from the sup as well and swim when trying to reach the shore. The best time to go there is early morning, if you want to avoid the tourist crowd. Note that parking places are limited and it's not free. There is also a small buffet. #beachlife

There are plenty of ways to reach the cave. I started off at the Benagil beach and reached the cave by kayak. It is pretty close and it took me 5 mins to arrive at the cave. I am so amazed by the beauty of the nature. #benagil #algarve
