About Peniche and Baleal

From a fishing village to the best surf destination in Europe!

Portugal is a true surfers paradise, and Peniche is known as the Wave Capital of Portugal, with the most consistent and biggest variety of waves on offer anywhere in the country. With beaches facing in different directions, this means that no matter the swell or wind direction, there’s (almost) always surf!

Suitable for chargers or first timers, this region has surf breaks for everyone and mostly breaking over sand, making this one of best places in Europe to learn to surf.

Peniche is home to the world class beach break of Supertubos that hosts the WSL world tour since 2009. Our local surf base, in Baleal, is walking distance to surf and within 10 min by car, you can reach all of the best spots in the area.
