Algarve's Unmissable Coastline & Culture

The Algarve's southern coastline is defined by dramatic limestone cliffs and sea caves, notably the Gruta de Benagil with its natural skylight. Along the Lagos coast, Ponta da Piedade displays intricate rock arches and a historic lighthouse, while beaches like Praia da Marinha and Praia do Camilo are accessed via steep staircases carved into the bluffs. In Faro, the 18th-century Igreja do Carmo showcases Baroque architecture and houses a chapel constructed from human bones.
