Benagil, Maritime beach in Lagoa, Portugal
The beach features limestone cliffs rising from turquoise waters, with fishing boats resting on golden sand near the water's edge.
Local fishermen established this coastal settlement in the 18th century, transforming it from a remote cove into a maritime community.
Traditional fishing boats still operate from this beach, maintaining centuries-old practices of the Algarve coastal communities.
The beach offers direct access to boat tours, several restaurants, parking facilities, and summer lifeguard services from June through September.
A natural cave with a circular skylight opening lies 200 meters from the shore, creating a secluded interior beach accessible by water.
