Peniche

Peniche is divided into two distinct zones: a peninsular zone and the other formed by the Berlengas archipelago, composed of three groups of islets. Due to its geographical position, it quickly became a strategic center for fishing and commerce, the municipality's main economic activities, alongside tourism. The beautiful beaches are a major attraction for visitors, especially surfers, who find accommodations and surfing schools here. On the Berlengas Islands, a Nature Reserve, visitors can experience the authentic richness of crystal-clear waters, varied species of fauna and flora, and the fortress. The tradition of handicrafts, the renowned bobbin lace, and gastronomy are other strengths of this municipality.
