Lagoa e Carvoeiro

Čo robiť v Lagoa e Carvoeiro

União Das Freguesias De Lagoa E Carvoeiro Essentials

This region of the Algarve is defined by its dramatic limestone coastline and the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, which connects Marinha Beach to Carvoeiro. Key geological features include the Algar de Benagil, a sea cave with a natural skylight, and the rock formations at Algar Seco. The area features sheltered coves like Carvalho Beach, accessible via a hand-carved tunnel, and the 1920s Alfanzina Lighthouse. Beyond the cliffs, the town of Carvoeiro offers a traditional central beach, while Slide & Splash provides one of the country's largest water parks.
