Praia de Marinha
Praia de Marinha looks like a place that only exists in the βLord of the Ringsβ movies with its iconic rock formations around the area. The water in Praia de Marinha is perfect for scuba diving. Book a boat tour to explore the caves or simply lie on the beach and take in the surroundings, both are equally enjoyable. Visitors can also explore the walking trail that runs along the cliffs for impressive views from above.

Its smooth sand is also an ideal destination for family vacations. The small Bordeira River will sometimes connect with the ocean to form a warm, shallow lagoon, perfect for children to play in, alongside the surrounding sand dunes. To the south of the beach is a surf school and equipment rental shop, along with a beach cafe for those who want to relax.
Ponta da Piedade
Not far from Praia de Benagil is Ponta da Piedade, another attractive beach that can be explored on fishing boat tours. Visitors will be led through windy winding rocky bays. Choose smaller boats because they can enter secret locations between large rocks that larger boats often miss.
