Emerald waters, clean empty beaches and bright sunshine #lifeatexpedia
Approaching Praia de Benagil - while others paid a 25 euros to enter this amazing cave with a boat, we decided to save our money and swim right in. It's the most amazing beach I've ever seen and we got to spend more than an hour here, while the boat trippers didn't even get out of the vessel.. #BeachBound
