Review:

Peniche, Portugal is famous for its dramatic rocky coastline. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Peniche is a charming town with around 30,000 permanent residents. The Peniche area features several beaches that attract locals, foreign visitors, families and adventure seekers. Some of Peniche's beaches are tourist hotspots with bars, resorts and malls, while other beaches are rugged, secluded and far off the beaten path.

Peniche is known for its excellent weather and water conditions, which are ideal for surfing, windsurfing and bodyboarding. Peniche is even regarded by some as the “European Pipeline,” a reference to Hawaii's famous Banzai Pipeline. The area is frequently used for surfing competitions, camps and schools. Map

The beach is 1 hour 15 minutes from Lisbon.
