Benagil Sea Cave
Located near the Algarve, the Benagil Sea Cave is an amazing natural attraction.It was formed about 20 million years ago, when warm, shallow seas slowly slid into the Algarve Basin. The seawater inside the cave takes on a turquoise color. This natural phenomenon makes Benagil Sea Cave one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.
The best way to see the cave is to take a boat tour. The tours depart from a number of ports across the Algarve. They are ideal for families with young children. They offer a trip to the cave and a tour of other caves in the region. Depending on the boat tour, the duration can range from two to four hours.
Another option for those who are not comfortable with swimming is to rent stand up paddleboards. These boats are easy to maneuver and make it possible to reach the cave. They are also available for rent on Benagil Beach. The cost is around 20 euros for one board. However, these boats are not always available during peak seasons.
The best time to visit the Benagil Sea Cave is during the summer months, when the weather is usually good. During the winter, the weather can be harsh and the seas can get rough. During these months, there may be currents and falling rocks, which are dangerous for swimmers. This is why it is not advisable to swim to the cave. However, it is still possible to reach the cave by kayak.
The best time to visit the Grotto of Benagil is during low tide. The tides can be very strong, making it impossible to reach the cave during high tide. The ocean currents can be strong enough to sway the boat. There are no organized tours to the Grotto of Benagil during the winter, but you can visit it on your own. There are many boats in the area, which can make it very crowded.
The Benagil Cave is a very popular destination, but it is not recommended to swim there. The cave is not safe to enter on foot and it can get very crowded. Also, there is a risk that the crater contour may collapse. Therefore, only a limited number of people are allowed to enter at a time. This means that you should make sure you plan your trip in advance.
Benagil Sea Cave is an incredible site for photographers and visitors. If you have a camera, be sure to bring it along. You can also rent a stand up paddle board to go around the cave. You can also drive to the top of the cave. However, you will have to go in the early morning to avoid the rush hour.
The Benagil Sea Cave is also popular with tours. Some boat tours allow people to swim to the cave, but this is not a recommended activity. It is possible to swim to the cave on a low tide, but the waves can be strong.
