Algar de Benagil ⭐⭐is a beautiful cave located along the coastal strip of
Algarve, the southern region of Portugal which is famous for its beautiful beaches.
[1]It is a majestic sea cave formed by three openings: two arches of about 50 meters which overlook the ocean and a third circular crack with a diameter of about 20 meters perfectly situated at the top like a sort of skylight with natural sun rays beaming through.

Algar de Benagil is only reachable by boats or hiking trails (hint:
Seven Hanging Valleys Trail). Like my trip during the winter, the boat trip can be cancelled anytime due to weather condition. Starting from
Lagos, which is not the best departure location, you can take a speed boat tour offered by companies such as
BlueFleet. It needs to be a speed boat because it would take time to reach
Algar de Benagil from
Lagos. Also,
the ride would be very bumpy because of the speed.
The below photos were taken on 01/06/2023, a sunny day. Note that similar trips were cancelled a day before. On 01/06/2023, the ocean appeared to be calm enough for the boat trip on that day.
