Benagil Cave – fascinating rock formation with big eye in middle
Baku, June 7, AZERTAC
The Benagil cave is a fascinating rock formation with a big eye in the middle. It’s the most famous sea cave in the Algarve, Portugal.
The hole in the ceiling of the cave allows the sun to shine at the little beach inside the cave. Its beauty is hard to describe and the best way to understand it is to go there and see for yourselves! The colours of the cave are, just like the entire coastline around it, unique and typical for the Algarve.
The easiest way to visit the Benagil cave is by boat. In high season, visitors will see dozens of boat tours entering and exiting this wonderful grotto on a daily basis. Because of the heavy traffic, passengers are only allowed to pass through the cave and take in its beauty from the boat.
Swimming is not recommended because of high boat traffic and strong waves. Falling rocks from crumbling cliffs pose yet another risk for swimmers. The best incidence of light occurs in the morning. That’s also the best time of day to visit in order to avoid rush hour inside the cave.
