Algar Seco

Beautiful natural formations. Must see. You can park here and do the 600m hike to the beach and city of Carvoeiro. Enjoy local delicacies and do the hike back to the parking. Sunset views are amazing. Parking is free here but might be difficult to find a slot during peak season.

An exciting hour to stroll through the broad walk while appreciating the scenery, taking pics, climbing up and down the stairs, reading the signpost, sitting on the bench, and well, simply enjoying the moment.

It was in the afternoon of early February. Not so many people around. The weather was lovely, though the sunlight was kinda too bright.

This gem is a must-visit! Share the love for Algarve beaches by bringing new faces. It's a stunning spot that captivated me not long ago. Watching others fall for its charm as I did is an experience worth cherishing.

Stunning location with crystal clear water. Probably even better in the summer when you can swim in the ocean.

Amazing!! Kids were fascinated and really enjoyed exploring the cliffs and caves. Picture perfect.

Stopped here along our road trip along the coast. This is a really beautiful place with interesting rock formations along the water.

A short walk down the steps where you an explore both sides. On your right side there is a cave with breathtaking views.

Lovely place, you will take great pictures here, especially during the sunset :) There were few people here on Sunday in November, however, it was not crowded. Must see in the Algarve!

Fascinating rock formations and natural pools in the calcareous cliffs. Really worth exploring this peculiar natural landscape.
The place can be relatively crowded in high season, when you’ll struggle to take pictures without other visitors.

This is a beautiful place really unusual and interesting rock formations.
You see quite a lot of fishing boats and small leisure craft.
Quite a walk down the steps but more than worth it.

We came here and witnessed a gorgeous sunset. Stunning views of the beach and some easy access to hidden caves make this place a must visit when in southern Portugal. Cannot recommend this place more. We came in December, so there wasn’t a crowd and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you want to see a gorgeous sunset.

If you are in the Algarve you have to spend an hour or more here. You need to be able to negotiate stairs and rough walking.

Absolutely stunning area to explore. Beautiful cliffs and caves. Some of it very easy to access. Fully recommend a trip there and really really recommend one of the speedboat tours along the coast!

I loved this place. You have to have boat tour to reach caves at the see and to have a view from see to beaches. Very unique and no forgettable experiences. Highly recommend to go when you come in Portugal.

Truly stunning experience in such a lovely climate, the stunning sites and beaches are such a surprise to experience at sea, as most can't been seen from the hill liffey..

Loved this trail. Beautiful sites the entire way

There is a boardwalk to use to see the rock formations at the edge of the sea

Amazing place for an energizing walk and a boost in adventurer feeling for kids with all the climbing and jumping on the cliffs and hidden paths

This is so much fun and must do in Algrave! There's a boardwalk along the coast and in many places there are paths to go into caves, tunnels, sinkholes and cliffs. It's a lot of fun exploring the area.

Beautiful and fascinating part of the coastline, well worth visiting and exploring if visiting Carvoiero area, even more amazing to see by Boat Tour. Recommend following the cliff path for the 7km walk past the 5* Tivoli Hotel and beyond where you will eventually pass the Benagil Cave

Love love love this place. Love walking around and discovering the nice rocks and amazing views 🤩
This place is definitely one of my favourite of the Algarve. 15 minutes walk from Carvoeiro Beach.
