Local Town
UCPA Peniche is located in a small seaside resort surrounded by sandy beach 90 km north of Lisbon.
The peninsula has many orientations, meaning whatever the swell or the wind there is always a wave that works. The area has long been known by surfers for the diversity of its spots including the legendary "Supertubos" which hosts each year one of the stages of the world championship.
It’s only natural that the sea dominates the local cuisine, so you mustn’t leave Peniche without tasting the bouillabaisse, the seafood rice or the charcoal-grilled sardines, always accompanied by a local wine. For dessert, we recommend the almond cakes, whether an “Amigo de Peniche” or the biscuits called “Esses”.
