Algar Seco Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

Steep cliffs, which are surrounded by local anglers (I had no real success), as well as a walk through caves hit in the cliffs and bizarre, purged rock formations make this place so varied

Benagil Sea Cave

Highlight • Cave

You can hike along the rocks for kilometers. Sturdy shoes are highly recommended. But a tour is very worthwhile. You walk from one beautiful spot to the next.

May 13, 2025,🇵🇹🥾(🚤) Süd-Algarve Tour 5 -
Today's tour began directly back at the sandy beach, where a wooden walkway led to the nearby harbor. After finding the taxi ferry dock with the help of a harbor employee who gave me a ride in his car for a bit, I crossed over to the other side of the river. From there, I walked along the sandy beach …

Beautiful path almost always directly along the cliffs. A section west of Carvoeiro is closed. Sturdy shoes are wg. attached to the many descents and climbs with boulders.

Today was really exhausting, a constant up and down. At times, we even had to climb over rocks, and at one point we had to hold onto ropes.
But there were always magnificent views and swimming bays!
