Praia Marinha is the ideal starting point for a cliff hike to Cave Benagil, about 2 hours with spectacular views🤩

Here are some sinkholes to marvel at. For safety, these are provided with wooden barriers.

The Elephant Rock from above and from the water, a natural highlight.

Praia da Marinha is a beach in the Algarve, the southernmost Portuguese province. It belongs to the administrative area of Lagoa and is located in the so-called "Rock Algarve". Many holidaymakers from the nearby resort of Carvoeiro, about 5 km away, use the beach for swimming, diving and snorkeling. There is a free car park here (but you should get there early!). It is the starting point for the coastal hike to Benagil with its great rock formations.

The Praia da Marinha is connected to the Praia do Buraco via a 20m long natural tunnel (a head lamp is useful) = very worth seeing! (if you are there and also go to the beach)

At low tide it's fun to explore some of the rock formations in more detail.

Certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in the rocky Algarve, but also one of the most famous and therefore one of the most visited. It is only quiet there in the evening and early morning.

Spectacular hike with great views through a coastal landscape with huge rock formations. I recommend sturdy shoes, a backpack and enough to drink (there are fewer people here in the off-season).
