Surf Camp Peniche is located near Praia do Baleal where you have a combination of reef & beach breaks to surf. Just to the left of the camp you have the famous fortified Baleal peninsula called Baleia by the Portuguese which means Whale. The area is littered with cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, shops & bars, but if you are looking for a little more action, about 10 minutes away from the camp by car you’ll reach the centre Peniche. Lisbon is also only an hour away if you are wanting to head out for a night.
The old harbour town of Peniche itself is also located on a peninsula that juts out from the mainland. It’s a lively & beautiful small town, the perfect place to spend a relaxing, or not so relaxing evening. There are plenty of bars, cafés & restaurants located in the peninsula as well as beautiful histroric architecture, a lighthouse & an amazing harbour.

Supertubos
To the south of the Peniche Peninsula you have Consolation Beach or Praia do Medão by the locals, along which you find plenty of peaks to surf, the most famous being Supertubos. The hollow A-Frame beach break hosts the Rip Curl Pro every year and is a favourite for pro surfers from around the world. If you are at our camp definitely take set a few hours aside to either just watch Supertubos, or if you’re already a good surfer, you can head out with the locals and try get a gem.

It was remodelled in the 1800’s, but has been guiding sailors to the Peniche Harbour for 200 years. The rugged cliffs along the western edge of the peninsula also make an amazing backdrop to enjoy a meal or local wine.
If you head back towards the mainland via the narrow goat tracks along the coast you will come across the Furninha Caves which are well worth checking out. Once you’ve passed the caves, you can keep going and you will run straight into the old Fort of Peniche.
