Surfing
Long renowned as a prime surfing destination, Peniche burnished its celebrity status when
Supertubos beach, south of town, was selected as a stop on the ASP World Tour, the most
prestigious international circuit of competitive surfing.
Meanwhile, Baleal is a paradise of challenging but, above all, consistent waves that make
it an ideal learners' beach.
Peniche is full of surfers' hostels and schools. Depending on the season, surf camps at
Baleal charge from €240 to €500 for a week of classes, including equipment and shared
self-catering lodging. You can also take individual two-hour classes (€35) and rent boards
and wetsuits (€30/135 per day/week). Well-established operators include Baleal Surfcamp (
262 769 277; www.balealsurfcamp.com ; Rua Amigos do Baleal 2; 1/3/5 day course €60/95/145) and Peniche
Surfcamp (
962 336 295; www.penichesurfcamp.com ; Av do Mar 162, Casais do Baleal) .
