The village is best known for its sea caves under the cliffs. You can rent kayaks or book boat excursions to see the sea caves along this beautiful coastline. In addition, there are several villages and towns to visit in the area.

Location 

Neptuno 9 is located on a traffic circle and just 200 meters from Benagil beach (200m), a cozy sandy beach with a beach bar between impressive cliffs. Here you will also find fairytale sea caves, a rock formation with caves that you can reach by boat, kayak or SUP. Other beautiful sandy beaches nearby are: Praia do Carvalho (1,3km), Praia Vale Centeanes (3km), Praia da Marinha (2,8km), Praia do Carvoeiro (7km), Praia do Barranquinho (5,4km), Praia dos Carneiros (10km). The many bays in the area offer many water activities such as: snorkeling, diving, boat trips and hours of fun for the kids in the rock pools. In Benagil you can make a beautiful walk namely 'Seven Hanging Valleys Trail'. It is a beautiful route over well trodden paths with a continuous view over the sea with nice viewpoints on the cliffs, rocks and beaches. The route ends at Praia de Marinha. By car you can reach Carvoeiro in 5 minutes. Equipped with characteristic whitewashed houses, stores, bars and restaurants located near the beautiful sandy beach, this is a nice place for a few hours in the sun and a delicious lunch on the terrace. Discover the town of Portimão (15 km), a lively town beautiful beaches, fantastic restaurants and bars near the busy harbor. The nearest beach for surfing Praia de Rocha in Portimao. Also Faro (60 km) and Faro airport are easy to reach and here you will find a cozy town center with old buildings and many attractive streets. This is the ideal location if you want to stroll through the city along boutique stores, old cathedrals and the cozy harbor. Alvor and Ferragudo are former fishing villages where you can enjoy live music in the evening at one of the lively bars or seafood restaurants. Silves is a beautiful medieval fortified town and also one of the older towns in the interior of the Algarve. The town is characterized by the castle which can be seen from far away and the nice little steep streets. On top of the mountain is the walled city center. Lagos is also one of the older towns in the Algarve and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Algarve. The town has a very nice center with many stores, restaurants and bars and a beautiful boulevard with palm trees. On this boulevard you can find almost daily a trinket market. Monchique lies about fifteen kilometers inland in the Algarve. It is one of the highest villages in Portugal, situated in the mountains above the Algarve. With its natural spring, it is especially known as a wellness resort. The Monchique Mountains are an excellence hiking paradise. It is located in a protected area, the Serra de Monchique, and is endowed with a rich flora and fauna. That is why it is also called the 'garden of the Algarve'. After years of much hiking, we are still discovering new paths. Tavira is a town and a municipality in the eastern part of the Algarve not far from the border with Spain and is definitely worth a visit. Albufeira is without doubt the most popular vacation destination in the Algarve. Every year tens of thousands of tourists visit the town to enjoy all the good things the Algarve has to offer. A Sardinha is one of my favorite beach restaurants. Highly recommended! A 50-minute drive away is the Ria Formosa protected area, a 60 km long lagoon with a maze of islands, white beaches and dunes with native plants and wildlife. Here you can not only hike, but also spot animals or take a bike ride. In addition, there are spectacular beaches and bays where you can often enjoy the view all alone.
