description Benagil Sea Cave Overview
Benagil Sea Cave is a coastal cavern near the village of Benagil in Portugal's Algarve region. Marine erosion formed its arched entrances and the large circular opening in its roof, which admits daylight onto a small sandy area inside. The cave is reached from the sea rather than by a conventional land entrance, and conditions around its exposed shoreline can be affected by waves, tides, and boat traffic.
