Located approximately 35 minutes drive west of Faro airport, the charming fishing village of Benagil is renowned for its natural beauty and offers peaceful and picturesque surroundings, conspicious for its quaint farmhouses, rolling hills and pine trees. Visitors to Benagil can enjoy a relaxed countryside location yet still be close to the many beautiful sandy beaches in the area including Praia da Marinha, Benagil and Albandeira, some of which are still used by local fishermen. Scattered amongst its rustic setting, Benagil offers a number of excellent restaurants serving international cuisine and the local catch of the day. Beyond the delights of relaxed dining, nightlife is low key but just a 10 minutes drive away and you will find the neighbouring town of Carvoeiro with its bustling town square surrounded by shops, bars and lots of restaurants to choose from.
The rocky coastline is home to fascinating grottoes and secluded sandy coves and is an ideal location for exploring the many sightseeing opportunites the Algarve has to offer.
