Peniche is located in the centre of Portugal (90 km north of Lisbon) perfect location to visit many places on an afternoon drive.

Lisbon (the capital) is just 45m away by motorway or you can drive down following the coastal road, visiting Santa Cruz, Ericeira, Sintra (historical city) all the way to Guincho (windsurf paradise), Cascais and into Lisbon. The north coast is also worth a visit. Places like Obidos, Nazare, Caldas da Rainha, Leiria or even up to Coimbra are within reach. The Peniche area is a peninsula (see map) thus allowing any swell or wind for perfect surfing conditions.
