Praia de Benagil
The record identifies Praia de Benagil as a beach in Portugal. Consider this location today only when live conditions fit the activity. Before swimming there, confirm wind, waves, currents, water quality, flags and official advice. Visitors get a sourced identity for the beach and a separate conditions check for the planned arrival window. The durable evidence begins with the mapped feature and its documented attributes. The mapped shoreline record lists sand as the surface. Wikipedia supplies this concise setting note: “A Praia de Benagil é uma praia situada em Benagil na zona…” The recorded map position is 37.08735, -8.42586, which helps distinguish this beach from similarly named places. For comparison, the location data places Praia da Cova Redonda at about 4.2 km, Praia dos Caneiros at about 8.1 km and Praia dos Salgados at about 8.6 km nearby; inspect live conditions instead of choosing only by distance. Treat the final choice as a live comparison. Check water temperature, wind, waves and currents for the planned arrival hour, then add UV, water-quality notices and local flags. A database entry is not permission to enter the water; current closures and local safety directions remain decisive. A conditions screenshot ages quickly. Reopen the live page before departure instead of relying on an image or recommendation saved earlier in the day. Check whether everyone in the group can use the documented access. Surface, gradient and the last few metres often matter more than the map pin.
