Скачать или смотреть Benagil Cave: Why You Can No Longer Visit This Way (2026 Guide)

Experience the "Old Magic" of the Benagil Cave in this rare 2023 time capsule. Many of the views and experiences shown in this video—including landing on the small beach inside the cave and spending extended time under the skylight—are no longer permitted under the strict regulations introduced in August 2024.

Join us as we depart from Lagos Marina for an 11-nautical-mile journey along the stunning Algarve coast. We’ll take you 30 meters beneath the famous cave skylight and share the "Whispers of the Old Benagil" before over-tourism and new safety rules changed the experience forever.

We also explore the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, one of Portugal’s most spectacular cliff walks, stretching between Praia da Marinha and Carvoeiro. Stay tuned until the end to see why we believe the Lagos Grotto tours (Ponta da Piedade) might actually be a better alternative for your 2026 Algarve itinerary.
