Benagil
We'll walk approximately 6 minutes with the boards with carrying straps and safety equipment. Depending on natural conditions, we'll be in the water for 30 minutes to visit Portugal's most famous cave. Visit to Benagil Cave on a 9" paddle board. You can sit and paddle or choose to paddle on your knees, the way I recommend, and for those who know and have experience, you can paddle standing up. Since we can't go into the sandy area of the cave, we'll stay in front of the grotto for 5 minutes and then give other visitors a turn. You can take photos and videos from the water here - these are the new rules imposed by the authorities.
