Benagil is is a small fishing village on the south coast of the Algarve, on the west side of Carveiro. The most easy way to access the village is from the EN 125, in front of the International School, take the exit on your right coming from Portimao. Follow the sign of "Benagil", it is about ten minutes from the EN125. Stop at the cafe " O Littoral", where you can park your car. Across the road of the cafe you can start your walk. It has an easy access to the coast. It is more or less a 1,5 hr walk and rather easy to handle except for the last part to the church. You have to cross a a dry river but it is a little bit difficult to go down cross the dry river.
The coastline is magnificient, especially because of the chalk coloured rocks and the area of this part has not been spoiled with hotels and projects. This part of the coast is protected. You cross Praia de Marinha, Praia de Albandeira. Watch carefully the wholes in the rocks but there are everywhere good signs where it is safe to walk. Have a nice day and enjoy the beautiful and quiet walk in the south of the Algarve.
