Things to see and do Carvoeiro

This is the cave you will see on all postcards in the Algarve, the most famous and impressive of all! Sculpted by waves, this huge cavity is only accessible by sea. Its beauty is such that there is no shortage of boats to take you there, from Benagil, Carvoeiro, Ferragudo and even Portimão! You will probably be approached to be offered an expedition to her. A minor drawback: many people obviously go there....

The Seven Suspended Valleys trail connects the beaches of Praia de Vale Centianes and Praia des Marinha by following the coast for 5.4 km. The landscape varies from pine forests, golden beaches and steep cliffs. Approach the abysses dug by erosion to hear the deafening roar of the sea and feel like you are in the bowels of the earth. Be careful, the path has few shaded areas, bring a cap and water. Possibility to eat at the start or on the beach of Benagil. Plan the day or a return by bus.

From the church overlooking the town, you will find a small pathway built on a wooden footbridge that will lead you to the caves of Algar Seco. Here the rock seems to have turned into clay to form caves and secret passages in the cliff. Two staircases allow you to go down to continue your exploration and listen to the waves crashing against the edge. Feel free to continue outside the official steps to discover other caves. You will find a small snack bar and toilets on the spot.
