点评:There are three beaches in th coves, each of which is quite small, but all are beautiful with good swimming but limited shade.
There is a small car park with picnic tables above the beach from which steps lead down to the two eastern beaches. In the high season there is a bar at the top of the steps and for part of the low season a fantastic crepe van in the car park. At the time of year of our visit the crepe van (Hulala) was there but the bar was closed. I highly recommend the crepes, fresh orange juice and iced coffee at Hulala!
Great kayak tours can be taken from the beach (Benagil Kayaking) have a van in the car park - we did a two hour trip with them across to the Benagil cave and back exploring the arches and caves en-route. Andre was exceedingly helpful and Alvaro was an excellent guide.
The western beach is only accessible at low tide via a passageway on the western side of the beach on the right as you go down the wooden stairs.
I can imagine the beach would be busy in the high season but in mid May it was perfect. On the western beach we had it virtually to ourselves.
There is good walking along the cliff tops in both directions from the car park, although the walk to the west would be my choice with great views down to the arch.
翻译:海湾里有三个海滩,每个都很小,但都很美,适合游泳,但阴凉处有限。
海滩上方有一个小型停车场,配有野餐桌,从那里可以沿着台阶向下通往两个东部海滩。旺季时,台阶顶部有一个酒吧;淡季时,停车场里有一辆很棒的可丽饼车。我们去的时候,可丽饼车(Hulala)还在,但酒吧关门了。我强烈推荐Hulala的可丽饼、鲜榨橙汁和冰咖啡!
从海滩出发可以参加很棒的皮划艇之旅(Benagil Kayaking),停车场有一辆皮划艇——我们参加了他们两个小时的皮划艇之旅,穿过Benagil洞穴,然后返回,探索沿途的拱门和洞穴。Andre非常乐于助人,Alvaro是一位非常优秀的导游。
只有在退潮时才能通过海滩西侧的通道到达西部海滩,沿着木楼梯往下走。
我能想象旺季的时候海滩会很热闹,但五月中旬的时候,这里简直完美。在西边的海滩,我们几乎独享了这片海滩。
从停车场出发,沿着悬崖顶往两个方向走都很方便,不过我更喜欢往西走,因为那里的景色非常优美,可以俯瞰拱门。
