Seven Hanging Valleys Trail
Marinha to Benagil Walking Trail – A Breathtaking Cliffside Hike
The walk between Marinha Beach and Benagil Beach is one of the most scenic sections of the Algarve’s coastline. Part of the renowned Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, this route offers spectacular views of limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and the deep blue Atlantic.

This hike is especially popular at sunrise and sunset, when the light hits the rocks beautifully.
