Captain’s Cave

This spectacular grottoe in the Algarve, known as the Captain's cave by locals, is also one of our favorites. Between Carvoeiro and Armaço de Pêra, this cave can be found. Praia da Estaquinha and Praia do Barraquinho are nearby. It is considered one of Portugal's most beautiful caves.

Because access is extremely difficult, the only way to get here is by boat. In fact, being able to visit this Algarve cave is a privilege because it is only accessible by boat and cannot be reached by foot or swimming. This cave is difficult to reach even by boat. The cave of Capitan can only be seen up close if the ocean conditions are ideal. The optimum circumstances for visiting the Captain's Cave in the Algarve are low tide and no waves.

The Caves & Dolphins boat excursion leaves from the Marina of Albufeira and includes a visit to this Algarve cave. This boat excursion is one of the most popular in the Algarve since it combines two activities: dolphin viewing and visits to the Algarve's magnificent coastline. In tiny fishing boats, most cave tours in the Algarve visit this cave.
