One could spend their entire life traveling from beach to beach and still never see all of them. The world is packed full of sandy spaces that will take your breath away. Not all beaches are created equally, though, so when choosing to visit one; it's essential to know what any particular beach is known for and what you can expect from it.

Some beaches are made for waves and surf, while others offer remote peacefulness to help you channel your inner zen. Many beaches provide about a zillion amenities, and many will give you nothing but sand and breeze. Knowing the ins and outs of world beaches is a must for any savvy traveler.

Praia Da Marinha is a stunning space off the coast of Portugal. If you are visiting the area, here are a couple of takeaways that will help you make the most of your day trip there.

Take Advantage Of The Clear, Blue Water With A Snorkeling Excursion

One thing that travelers simply MUST do while visiting the pristine beaches of Praia Da Marinha is go for a snorkel. The waters here are relatively safe and calm, so everyone engaging in this favorite aqua pastime will be able to explore the underwater world with little danger or natural distraction. The only drawback is that this beach doesn't employ lifeguards, so anyone choosing to enter the waters will be doing so at their own risk.

Join A Boat Trip And Explore The Unique Rock Formations

Praia Da Marinha has incredible rock formations all around. If you can find the somewhat hidden beach off the beaten path, and navigate the stairs that lead down to the water and sand, then you are in for a real treat. This space is a true feast for the eyes, and one of the best ways to take it all in is by boat. Visitors can arrange to be a part of a boat tour that takes them up close to the rock formations. This is the best way to capture all that there is to see on film.

Pack A Picnic Lunch, Because You Will Be Wonderfully Isolated There

With so much exploration to be had at Praia de Marinha, you will most certainly work up an appetite. Unlike many of the beaches in this area, Praia de Marinha is lacking amenities such as food and beverage stands. It is a gem, no doubt, but it is a gem without a closeby place to grab a bite. You'll want to spend the entire day here most likely, so make sure and pack a lunch and some waters with you.

Skip Over To Benagil Cave, Which Is Only Ten Minutes Away

Benagil is a small fishing community close by Praia de Marinha. In recent years it has become quite popular for tourists and explorers who wish to take in the wonder of the sea caves there. The sea caves are indeed a wonder to behold, but you will want to take in the sights by boat, not by swimming. The tides change quickly, and currents are strong here, so exploration via boat is best. If boating doesn't give you enough of an up-close and personal adventure experience, then paddleboarding is a possibility.

Unlike Praia de Marinha, Benagil has several eateries located close by. First taking in Praia de Marinha, then shooting over to the sea caves of Benagil, and eventually finishing off the day with a freshly prepared meal and a cold beverage is the ultimate way to spend an oceanside day in Portugal.
