About this hike

Discover our exclusive itinerary – a coastal walk that starts at Praia da Marinha and ends at Praia de Benagil. This route is part of the famous Seven Hanging Valleys hiking trails.

This route descends and ascends ravines that almost always end above sea level – the hanging valleys. In the distant past, each hanging valley was associated with the mouth of a stream, and its formation was due to a rapid retreat of the coastline not accompanied by the carving of the waterline.

Praia Da Marinha is one of Portugal’s most famous beaches. This natural paradise combines the wild beauty of a rocky coastline with stunning scenic views. It ranks among the top ten most beautiful beaches in Europe and will surely captivate you with its unique atmosphere.

Praia de Benagil Beach is associated with the mouth of a torrential stream that has carved a narrow ravine into the cliff.

If you wish, you can enhance your adventure with a boat trip, exploring the coastal caves, including a visit to the famous European cave – Benagil (this option is weather-dependent).

The boat trip allows you to admire the natural caves, secluded beaches, and one of the world’s top ten famous caves – Benagil, which can only be accessed by sea.

The entire route covers approximately 3 kilometers, and we are always ready to tailor it to your preferences.

What’s included:

  • Guide/driver services from where we can pick you up in Albufeira.
  • Linguistic support in Portuguese (PT), English (EN), Ukrainian (UA) and Russian (RU) during the trip.
  • Transport expenses.

Itinerary

#1 We set off for one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe – Praia da Marinha.

The action of fresh and salt water results in the formation of a lacy pattern on the coast, known as a karst landscape, with a remarkable diversity of geoforms that can be seen at Praia da Marinha: arches, caves, algares and leixões. We enjoyed the breathtaking views and took some beautiful photographs.

#2 The Benagil Beach.

This beach was once home to a fishing community dedicated to handicrafts; nowadays, the boats mainly visit the sea caves.

#3 Boat trip (optional)

If you prefer, you can add an exciting boat trip to your adventure, exploring the caves along the coast, including a visit to the famous Benagil Cave (this option is subject to weather conditions).

The boat trip will allow you to enjoy views of the caves, natural caverns and secluded beaches, including one of the ten most famous caves in the world – Benagil Beach, which can only be visited by sea.
