Most beautiful interesting cave I've ever seen. We took a boat tour to see the cave and also…read moredolphins. We were lucky enough to see a rare dophin that was mostly white Ressi dolphin that had blunt nose ... looked like a small beluga whale. This was our 29th anniversary and a beautiful day to be out on the water and just such lovely scenery. The boat captains are so skilled in getting the boat in the caves safely.

This beach is sizzlin'!!! Not only can you grab a quick boat ride to reach the famous and…read moreunbelievably gorgeous Benagil Cave, but everyone was smokin' hot! Holy heck, those bodies!!! Just like in most of Europe, it IS a topless beach, and most of the ladies just wear thongs. This beach is amazing for couples! Just sayin' ((wink wink)). Neither one of us wanted to leave! This beach isn't as long as others, but it's more lively. Many people use floats, SUP, kayaks and the boats as I mentioned zip by, which is super fun to watch! If you're here, definitely grab one to visit the caves!! The Benagil Cave has been something I've gawked over for years on my Pinterest board! Heading there was honestly a dream come true! It's stunning and wondrous! Grab your tickets early from the little red booth. We did the 30 min tour and felt that was adequate. You can swim to the cave, and perhaps if I wasn't with my children I would have attempted it. I wasn't afraid of the distance, more of the boats and propellers, although they captains were amazing at navigating! Oh, and keep checking back if they're sold out! They often have cancellation tickets for immediate departure! The beach is very clean and some of it is in the shadows of the rocks, so there's natural shade for those wanting to escape the sun, although in the dead of summer, the sun was shining bright, but it was very comfortable temps! Like the most enjoyable beach weather ever. There's a few nice seafood restaurants atop the hill and a stand where you can grab cold local brews for €2.50. DO NOT MISS THIS BEACH if you find yourself in the Algarve. We were so blown away by this and the other beaches in the area we wanted to come back to Portugal just for them! Stunning and super sexy!!

We parked at the northern most point of this beach which is where Maps.me took us, but I can't imagine where everyone parks when it's high season. We barely found a spot along this very narrow road and yet we were the only people actually on the beach because it was such a crazy windy day. So good luck with that part.
