Portugal - Algarve

We’re staying in Lagos in early June for 3 nights (traveling from Seville to Lisbon) with our two kids (ages 5 and 11). We’d love to spend time on the beaches, do some kayaking, and just soak in the coast.

Of course, Benagil Cave looks incredible – but we’re wondering if it’s worth doing a kayak tour there, given it’s a 40-minute cab ride from Lagos. Would that be too much of a hassle with the kids? Or would it make more sense to kayak locally around Ponta da Piedade, which is much closer to where we’re staying?

We’re also considering doing a boat trip to see Benagil instead, and saving the paddling for Lagos. Has anyone done both and can compare?

Open to other activity recommendations too – especially anything fun and low-stress with young kids.
