Top 10 Things to Do in the Algarve
- Benagil Cave — stunning cathedral-like sea cave, accessible only by kayak or boat
- Ponta da Piedade — Lagos, the most dramatic rock arch formations in Portugal
- Dolphin watching — resident common and bottlenose dolphins in the Atlantic
- Sagres & Cape St Vincent — the SW tip of Europe, dramatic lighthouse at the 'end of the world'
- Ria Formosa Natural Park — Faro's lagoon system, excellent birdwatching and boat trips
- Alvor — charming fishing village with boardwalk, excellent seafood and beach
- Silves Castle — the Algarve's best Moorish castle, well worth half a day

💡 Pro Tip: The Benagil Cave can only be entered by boat or kayak — there is no beach access. The kayak tour gives you more time inside the cave than the boat trip and is more active and fun. Book at least 2 weeks ahead in summer.
