Benagil Sea Cave

Location: Portugal 

Benagil’s beautiful sea cave is listed in the world’s “Top 10 Coolest Caves” published this week by American online newspaper The Huffington Post.

Describing the natural rock formation, the website wrote: “You've probably seen pictures of Benagil’s sea cave before. To get to the iconic cave in the Algarve, you'll have to charter a local fishing boat, but we think the trip is well worth it.”

Benagil’s cave is actually one of many caves along Lagoa’s coastline but certainly the most stunning attracting hundreds of visitors each summer.

Benagil caves were also on a list of the “50 Most Breathtaking Places to Visit Before You Die” by Singaporean website The Smart Local in February.

A number of boat trips to visit the caves are offered by local companies based at Benagil beach.

The American website has already praised Ponta da Piedade in Lagos describing it as “possibly the most beautiful beach on Earth” and Lisbon as one of the “nine best European cities to visit with friends”.
