About the beach

Beach within the town of Peniche, next to its small lighthouse, where the long strand begins that runs north to Cova da Alfarroba. The environment agency (APA) describes it as long, with crystal-clear water and fine sand, and very busy because it is in town. Vegetated dunes shelter the sand, which is good for long walks. There is parking and a bar. APA uses its water quality as the reference for Cova da Alfarroba and Peniche de Cima: rated Excellent in 2025. Blue Flag in 2026.
