Benagil Cave (Algar de Benagil) is a sea cave with a dramatic circular skylight and sandy floor reached only by boat, kayak, or SUP. Photograph the shaft of light, textured limestone, and turquoise Atlantic water. Best at golden hour or early morning for warm light and fewer boats. Accessible via paid boat tours or self-launch from Benagil beach (limited parking). Expect crowds in high season; follow safety rules and local guides. Drone use and swimming inside may be restricted—check local regs.
