Overview
Boat departs from Portimão or Armação de Pêra heading east along the limestone cliffs: the Algar Seco rocks of Carvoeiro, the arches of Marinha Beach, and the open-roof Benagil Cave. Entry to the cave depends on the authorities' rules; boats usually view it from the entrance. Sometimes dolphins are spotted.
