The Cave Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Há muito que o ambiente em redor deste local se deteriorou, e este arquivamento peca claramente por tardio; a praia (Benagil) e gruta já não são os locais pacíficos, serenos e tranquilos que eram até há poucos anos atrás (mesmo no mês de agosto, altura em que foi tirada a foto que se encontra na página desta cache). A praia inclusive deixou de existir e transformou-se num porto massificado de empresas que operam incessantemente a levar turistas a este outros algares em barcos barulhentos. As novas restrições que, entretanto, entraram em vigor não permitem também o acesso a nado até este local.

Em resumo, não existe qualquer motivação em manter esta cache mais tempo no ativo.

Obrigado a todos os que durante os últimos anos visitaram este local.

The environment around this site has deteriorated for a long time, and this archiving is clearly late; the beach (Benagil) and cave are no longer the peaceful and serene places they used to be until a few years ago (even in August, when the photo on this cache's listing was taken). The beach even ceased to exist and became a mass port of companies that operate incessantly taking tourists to these other parts in noisy boats. The new restrictions that, however, came into force also do not allow access to swimming to this location.

In short, there is no motivation to keep this cache active for more time.

Thank you to everyone who has visited this place over the last few years.

Geocache Description:


 

The Cave

 

The cache is not at the given coordinates. Satellite reception is absent inside The Cave. The coordinates above will get you to the west entrance.

The cache is hidden in the highest rock at the entrance to the darkest part of The Cave.

The Cave can be accessed by a boat, canoe, kayak or inflatable air mattress. Whatever the mean used, always remember to check tides and currents before you head out on the water.

For those you plan to reach it by non-motorized forms (i.e. canoes, kayaks or inflatable air mattresses), the closest and easiest access is from Benagil beach (east side).

If you want to fully enjoy your visit to The Cave, we recommend that you do it preferentially between mid-morning and early afternoon (11:00 am - 3:00 pm), when the sunlight penetrates directly from the top opening, creating an interesting local contrast between light and shadow.
