How to get to Benagil Cave in the Algarve?

HOW TO GET TO BENAGIL CAVE IN THE ALGARVE, the cave is only accessible from the ocean and so a boat trip to the cave is the best solution...

Benagil Cave By Boat

Benagil cave is one of the wonders of the Algarve and attracts thousands of visitors every year, as it's on everybody´s "must see" list when visiting the region. 

Gruta de Benagil is a naturally formed cave with a cathederal like dome and a circular hole in the roof that funnels sunlight into the cave in such a dramatic fashion it is a photographers dream.  Benagil Cave can only be entered from the ocean side, the tide does not go low enough to enable people to walk around the cliffs to enter the cave, so the only option is to enter by boat, swimming, SUP, etc.  We would always recommend against swimming into the cave for safety reasons, the swell and current around any rock formations can be dangerous and hard to predict and throw into the equation the countless boats that navigate into the cave every few minutes and you have a perfect storm scenario. Visit Benagil Cave on a Yacht Tour:

 

The only safe and comfortable way to visit Benagil cave is by boat, so let's do it in style and bear in mind that Benagil cave is just the icing on the cake in terms of the fantastic Algarve coastline. A luxury yacht charter tour to Benagil Cave can depart from Vilamoura Marina and in a minimum of 5 hours we can tour the caves and rock formations around Sao Rafael, stop for some swimming, and then also visit the famous Benagil Cave. There are several smaller caves on the way that we can get close to or even enter if the sea conditions are good, Benagil itself we can enter with the nose of the boat only and just for a few minutes to take some pictures.
