Ideas for Algarve

Boating in Algarve

The Algarve's south coast is known for golden limestone cliffs, sea caves, arches and small beaches between headlands, best explored on short day trips. Further east the coast flattens into the Ria Formosa lagoon, with sandbar islands and calm channels.

Where to go by boat

  • Benagil Cave

    Sea cave with a natural skylight above a small beach, viewed only from the water: landing on the beach and swimming in are banned.

  • Ponta da Piedade

    Rock pillars, arches and grottoes near Lagos.

  • Praia da Marinha

    Cove framed by cliffs and rock arches on the Lagoa coast.

  • Ria Formosa

    Lagoon with barrier islands such as Culatra and Armona, and calm channels.

Tip: The south coast is usually calmer than the Atlantic-exposed west coast beyond Sagres; visit the caves early in the day and in low swell, as they get busy and conditions change.
