In the Algarve lies one of the most beautiful caves in the world, and a lot of hidden beaches.
The Algarve Basin between Cabo de São Vicente and Faro was part of a region caught in the epicentre when the supercontinent of Pangea began to split up, and warm, shallow seas slowly crept in. Over time, the limestone built up, with the layers that make up the Benagil Sea Cave forming about 20 million years ago.
Some of the caves are almost completely dark and submerged but its one of the things you should add on to your list of things to do in the Algarve, to do a benagil caves boat tour, while others are too small to squeeze inside – but the most famous is huge, airy and lit by an ever-changing palette of colours that come from the sky, the ocean, the sun and the rocks. The Benagil Sea Cave, as it’s most commonly known, is just east of the small town of Benagil on the Algarve. With its own ‘indoor’ beach, two sea-facing holes and a further circular skylight eroded through its ceiling, it’s a favourite with photographers and tours.
If you are in the Algarve Portugal, the benagil caves and beach are a place to add to your list of top things to do in the Algarve, and if you have been there already, you will agree that the benagil caves and beach are probably on the top of you list of top things to do in the algarve. Algar seco.
You can also do some boat tours to the benagil caves and have an amazing time and if you dont know what to do in the algarve, add the benagil caves to you list of things to do in the algarve.
