If you go to Peniche in the middle of October, you’ll find this normally sleepy village bustling with activity. The world’s best surfers gather here to compete in the Rip Curl Pro event at the famous Supertubos beach. Restaurants are full, television crews and photographers are everywhere.
If you want to stay away from the crowds, all you have to do is turn right at the entrance of the Peniche fort, on Rua da Boa Viagem, and walk to the Quebrado beach. There, you can seat in Bar do Quebrado, shown in the photo, enjoying a cold beer and a wonderful view.
With the excitement of the world surf championship and the quiet beauty of the seashore, no wonder Summer likes to spend Autumn in Peniche.

And if you want to taste the best cookies known as “S de Peniche” (yes, the letter) and also the famous eggs pastry (Pastéis de Peniche) and other specialities at very good prices, look for a small café called “BOINA VERDE” in Rua Tenente Valadim 20. On the side walk of City Hall. Enjoy.
Those S’s from Peniche are indeed irresistible!
Peniche ils also where you fan take a boat to the cute and wild island of Berlingas, full of rocks and birds, beloved by portugueese youngsters ans oldies. I was There and recommand it strongly !
Thanks for the tips, didn’t know about the surfing championships, I expect the children will want surf lessons afterwards if we go along.
It looks like a peaceful place to me… Hope I can visit it, someday! 😀
