Marinha Beach

sandy beach, there is another one nearby where the entrance is through a cave (it is more secluded and small) beautiful view of the rocks from above. There are no sunbeds or umbrellas, you need to take everything you need with you. There is also a cafe on the beach, and before the descent to the beach there are a couple of open-air stalls with fruits, sandwiches, water and other things.

Beautiful beach, the day i went there were a lot of seaweeds. Pretty good for snorkeling. The bar and the services open only from 12 to 18, but there are toilets at the parking lot at the top of the stairs. I recommend to arrive early (7-8 am), orbit will be impossible to find parking of you come by car. In late morning the street was closed for the cars by the police at the crossing with M1154, maybe to avoid excessive traffic.

This was a fabulous place to visit! The views are breathtaking and the hike was fairly easy! Wear hiking shoes or sneakers as it can get rocky. Definitely worth the trip but go early as the parking fills up hickory and then it gets challenging

Yet another beautiful and quiet beach. Wide, sandy beach and maybe just our lucky day but funny thing the day we visited, there were several wedding couples out taking photos here. It was a beautiful day to takes photes but we were however a little surprised to see/experience that.

Beautiful beach. Really worth the visit if you are in the Lagos area (or nearabouts). Please take some slippers with you in order to get inside the water as the entrance is quite rocky. Also, the parking fills up pretty early (as it is quite a crowded beach), and once that occurs, the transit police blocks the road down the access to the beach. So please expect a 15-20 minute hike to arrive to the beach.

Where sneakers at minimum if you plan on doing the whole hike. And go early for parking. It was nice at the start until you got closer to the “windows 10 screen saver”. Then it got super busy and people were using the bathroom all in the woods and just around the bend there’s portable toilets. When you get to the benagil hole, you won’t be able to see much because there’s a large safety fence around it. We thought about doing a kayaking tour but I’m glad we didn’t based on all the power boats coming from many different directions to all see the cave.

Praia da Marinha is more than just a beach — it’s a masterpiece carved by the hand of time and the power of God. Often ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the world, its dramatic cliffs, natural arches, and crystal waters are a testimony to the majesty of creation. Geologists say these limestone formations have been shaped over millions of years by wind and waves. But for those who see with eyes of faith, it’s also a glimpse of God’s eternal artistry — beauty that speaks louder than words. “God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.” — Martin Luther Standing here, surrounded by such splendor, one can only echo the psalmist: “Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” (Psalm 98:7) May this place not only take your breath away — but turn your heart upward.

Beautiful beach with stunning cliffs and crystal-clear water, but unfortunately it’s often overcrowded, especially during peak season. It can be difficult to find a parking spot nearby, and the high number of visitors takes away from the otherwise serene natural beauty.
