Why Benagil Sea Cave matters
The Benagil cave has a circular hole in the ceiling that lets a beam of light fall onto a small beach. It is among the most photographed sights in the Algarve. Access is by boat or kayak, and sea conditions matter, so go with a licensed operator.
Talking points
- A hole in the roof lets in light.
- Reachable by boat or kayak.
