A place of calm beaches, crystalline waters and indescribable beauty, the Berlengas Archipelago is perfect for an excursion departing from Peniche.

Located approximately 11km away from Cabo Carvoeiro, in Peniche, the archipelago is made up of three groups of islands: Berlenga Grande, Estelas and Farilhões-Forcadas. The archipelago is also considered part of UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

The boat will take you from Peniche to Berlengas, where you can enjoy and explore the island on your own. Look out towards the blue waters from the beach. Stroll up to the lighthouse and imagine yourself alone. Then understand more of Portugal's history by examining the remains of Forte S. Joao Batista and walk the Island's trails.
