Marinha Beach
Beach · Faro
Portugal
"Framed by golden limestone cliffs and dramatic rock formations, this sheltered cove is one of the Algarve’s most picturesque spots and sits roughly an hour’s drive west of Faro. Hike the clifftop Seven Hanging Valleys Trail for aerial views or descend a long staircase to the sand. There are no beach clubs here—only a small summer café—though boat tours from nearby towns like Portimão or Albufeira let visitors cruise past the beach, visit the Benagil Cave, and swim from the water." - Lila Harron Battis Lila Harron Battis Lila Harron Battis is a writer and editor.
