Peniche and the sea are inseparable. Situated on a peninsula with one of the largest traditional fishing ports in Portugal and a major Atlantic center for maritime-tourist activities, the city of Peniche is known for its nature tourism and for being embraced by several beaches with options for bathers, surfers, among others.
The marina is one of the local attractions, but if you leave Mercearia d'Alegria and head there, don't forget to stop at points of interest such as the Igreja dos Remédios and its viewpoint to the Berlengas; Cabo Carvoeiro with one of the westernmost lighthouses in the country; some of the best-known caves, which you will find on the way to the beaches of Carreiro dos Joannes and Porto da Areia Sul, to pass through the most picturesque neighborhood in the city - Alto da Vela - and visit the Forte de Peniche. If, on the other hand, you go to Peniche de Cima beach, don't forget to take a walk by the sea to Baleal.
If you have energy, use one of our bicycles or ask at reception to help you rent equipment for a water sport of your choice.
