The part of the Algarve coast around Lagoa is known for its great diversity. There are cliffs, interesting rock formations and coastal caves. The biggest attraction on the coast near Lagoa is the Benagil Cave. You can see it on most advertisements and brochures encouraging you to relax in the south of Portugal. You can get to the grotto from the land, but a much more experience is a cruise, during which you not only enter the cave, but also look at the surrounding cliffs.
