Overview

This guided boat tour from Armação de Pêra lasts about one hour and visits the Benagil cave plus other beaches along the Algarve coast. The group will see around 10 caves and about 15 beaches, including Praia da Marinha, Praia da Cova Redonda, Gruta do Capitão, and Arch da Albandeira. The tour includes a captain, guide, life jackets, and insurance. The departure point is Armação de Pêra Beach, known for its fishing heritage and the largest natural reef in Portugal. The boat then passes by Alporchinhos beach near the Vila Vita Parc resort and Tremoços beach, which is in a sheltered bay with limited access. Other stops include Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha, a rugged fishing beach, and Praia do Barranco, a quiet beach in a valley favored by divers for its marine life. The tour continues to Praia da Marinha, recognized by the Michelin Guide as one of Europe's top ten beaches, noted for its cliffs and clear water. It also passes Barranquinho beach, which has an unusually long stretch of sand, Malhada do Baraço beach, accessible only by sea, and Albandeira beach, known for its water arch. Praia da Corredoura, another sea-access-only beach with cliffs and sea caves, is visited before reaching the famous Benagil cave. The Benagil cave is a well-known sea cave and a major highlight of the Algarve. The tour ends with views of Benagil Beach, a cove with calm, clear waters where boat tours to the cave depart. Children must be accompanied by an adult for safety reasons.
