Surfing in Peniche
Peniche sits on a peninsula, which means there's almost always a sheltered side no matter what the wind is doing. That geography makes it unusually reliable. The star is Supertubos — a powerful, hollow beach break that hosts the Rip Curl Pro Ericeira (formerly WSL Peniche) every October, and which ranks consistently among Europe's best barrels. Baleal, a short drive north, is beginner and intermediate territory with a long beach and gentle sandbank waves. The town itself is a working fishing port — less polished than Ericeira but with a rawness that serious surfers tend to prefer.
