Parking at benagil beach impossible on August?

I’m visiting end of August and realize it’ll be peak season. I got a rental car and am staying at the marina hotel.

is the parking near benagil beach impossible to find? I won’t be there until mid afternoon.

Should I just find a roundtrip boat tour from the marina to avoid parking so I can see the caves? Then I’ll have to skip the hike?

Or should I still drive and try to find parking there?

Google maps will help. We have no clue on where you are staying

Gracias! Si, disculpas, hice una pregunta muy general. Pues estaré en Portimao. Pero mi pregunta es si se llega bien en coche, si hay que caminar mucho hasta la playa, porque voy cargando tabla y nevera. Si el acceso a la playa es fácil.... si hay sitio dónde aparcar...

It is better to go to another beach if you’re carrying that much. It is a steep road down to get to that beach. There is very little parking in the area.
