Algarve Sea Caves & Beaches - Lagos, Portugal

The caves and beaches of Lagos are best seen from the water, so taking a boat tour will offer you a unique perspective of the Algarve’s rugged coastline. You will see the series of stunning rock formations, beaches, sea caves, and grottos. Several boat tour operators in Lagos offer tours which include Benagil Cave, while not in Lagos, it is just a short boat ride away. We chose Happy Time Tours, located in Lagos, and they were excellent!

This is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!

I was told by our tour guide that these stairs were used to walk the enslaved Africans up from the beach after the boats landed here. Lagos became Europe’s first African slave market.
