Praia de Benagil is a real working beach with fishing boats, nets and baskets all greeting you as you head down to the sand. If you are lucky, you will see fishermen bringing the catch of the day ashore.

Many fishermen also offer boat trips with the most popular destination being the world famous cave known as Algar de Benagil. This cave has been featured in top destination lists and ‘places you have to see’ all across the internet and thanks to visitors sharing their incredible photos of the cave it has become one of the top things to do in the Algarve. From inside you can see the blue sky through an opening in the ceiling, also known as the eye. If you have a postcard of a Portuguese cave it is probably an image of this one.
