Location
Peniche is known as the wave capital in Europe due to its exclusive geography, providing the best surfing conditions for more than 300 days per year. This made Peniche widely known for its unique waves, as it gave the names to the beaches "Supertubos," Lagide, and Baleal. These facts and more led ASP in 2009 to establish one of the World Tour of Surfing stages there, and it's also the proscenium to the Rip Curl Pro Peniche.

Things to do (optional)
Scuba diving
Discover the transparent and amazing underwater world of Berlengas, a small archipelago located about 10 kilometers west of Peniche, which has been classified as a Nature Reserve since September 3, 1981. Its marine reserve is classified as a "Biosphere Reserve" by the Council of Europe since 2011 and "World Biosphere Reserve" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Trip to Berlengas
The Berlenga Nature Reserve is a unique place due to its transparent sea and underwater treasures. It is a marine reserve and has been classified by the Council of Europe as a "Biosphere Reserve." The archipelago consists of a large island, Berlenga Grande, and some small granite islands and rocks (Estelas and Farilhões), which are situated some seven miles off the headland of Cabo Carvoeiro to the northwest of Peniche.
The island of Berlenga Grande can be seen from the mainland when there is no sea mist. There, you will find endemic species of flora, as well as one of the preferred nesting sites for seabirds.
Built on a rock adjacent to the Berlenga Island and connected to it by a small bridge, there stands the Forte de São João Baptista, a Manueline military fortress built in 1502. The island’s tiny beaches, with their clear blue sea, are very beautiful and ideal for swimming and diving.
Access to the island is by boat, with departures from Peniche harbor. It takes roughly 30 minutes to reach Berlenga Grande. There is also a restaurant on the island.
