What to expect
In Portugal’s Centro region, Peniche is a beach destination with many feathers in its cap. First, the raging sea and the lie of the land make this surf central. The best of many supreme beaches is Praia dos Supertubos, which has a tubular wave fit for big time international events. Peniche has also been a port since the Early Modern Age, when a fort was constructed to defend it. This monument has an absorbing history, first as a maritime defence and then a prison during the Estado Novo regime in the 20th century. And since Peniche is still a fishing port, the fish and seafood could not be fresher. And on top of everything, you also have to make time for a voyage to the Berlingas Islands, a natural reserve off the coast.
Berlengas Nature Reserve
The Berlenga are a series of barren and rocky islands that are battered by powerful seas and strong winds, and are a haven for both bird and marine wildlife. Berlenga Grande, the largest of the islands, can be visited and offers a dramatic coastline of caves, grottos and a sea teaming with wildlife.
Berlengas Nature Reserve

The Berlengas island is located in the North East Atlantic off the coast of Portugal, approximately 6 miles (~10km) from Cape Carvoeiro (Peniche) and comprises three groups of islands: Berlenga, Estelas and Farilhões.
