Wonderful choice of beaches from the family-friendly, to body-boarding to world class surfing beaches including Supertubos. Excellent coastal paths around the peninsula for bird-watching and Atlantic views. Excursions to the Isle of Berlenga, a nature reserve, from Peniche marina. A pre-dinner walk to the light-house is recommended. The fishermen in their small boats are a daily feature. Shopping at the Municipal Market is a pleasure.Traditional festivals and carnivals take place throughout the year. The town and region are steeped in history. Peniche is a traditional centre of lace-making, sessions can be viewed and examples bought. There is a fascinating historic fort and museum. The beautiful Estramadura region, inlcuding Obidos and Caldas da Raina,is full of castles, churches and monastries. Lisbon Zoo, The Gulbenkien Museum and the new Paula Rego Museum, for example, make a a great day out. Or just relax in one of the many cafes.
