What to expect
Next to a cliff, where the small white fishermen's houses are harmoniously distributed, Praia do Carvoeiro is a beautiful and picturesque image of the Algarve coast. On its small beach, sheltered and much sought after by bathers, our boats rest for trips along the coast, showing the beautiful caves and sinkholes in the vicinity. This is where our boat trip along the coast of Carvoeiro begins, visiting numerous caves, beaches and sinkholes.
Vale de Covo Beach
Surrounded by a high cliff where the Hotel Tivoli is located, Praia de Vale Covo is a small cove of breathtaking beauty. With access from a staircase, this beach is very sheltered. Its clear and calm waters are excellent for diving. We will visit its wonderful sea cave, crowned by the magnificent cave.
The beach extends to the west, flanked by imposing and highly sculpted cliffs. At the base of the rocky walls there are caves excavated by the sea.
A huge and spectacular sea cave, carved into sandstone cliffs topped by the iconic red-domed lighthouse
A section of the coast accommodates a small and cozy beach flanked by rocky walls, heavily eroded by erosion. A scenic and huge boulder marks the central line of the beach and cuts the horizon. The cliff line remains high throughout the length of the beach; access to the beach is via a hand-dug tunnel in the rocky wall.
A fishing village, Praia de Benagil is located on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Algarve coast, where the jagged cliffs form caves and sinkholes.
Algar de Benagil is one of the main tourist attractions in Portugal. It is chosen almost every year as one of the most beautiful caves in the world. Inside the cave, there is a small beach with a large opening in the ceiling, the Algar, this opening having been caused by rainwater dissolving the limestone, thus creating an opening through which light enters, illuminating its interior.
Surrounded by a high cliff carved by erosion, the beautiful Praia da Marinha is considered one of the hundred best beaches in the world, in a corner of preserved nature, almost in a wild state.
Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Encarnacao
All that remains of the original fortress is the wall where the door is located, as well as the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação, from its viewpoint you can see almost the entire coast of the western Algarve.
Starting at the Fort of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação and extending for 570mt, the Algar Seco walkway takes us to visit a spectacular stretch of the coast of Carvoeiro and discover the hidden secrets of the “Escadinhas”, rock formations that we find in the middle .
From the Algar Seco viewpoint, we go down the 134 steps that take us to the access tunnel to Gruta da Boneca, whose rocky surroundings remind us of windows and balconies overlooking the crystalline blue of the sea, the preferred setting for special occasions and events. Continuing east, we find the natural pools, whose incredibly blue water invites us to take a refreshing dip.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
