Before you book

Frequently asked
questions.

Is it better to stay in Peniche or Baleal?

Stay in Peniche for restaurants, the harbour, Berlengas boats and easier car-free days. Choose Baleal for walkable beach access, surf schools and a livelier surf-town atmosphere.

Where should surfers stay in Peniche?

Baleal is the easiest all-round base for most surf trips because several breaks, schools and rental shops are close together. Experienced surfers with a car can stay anywhere and follow the best conditions around the peninsula.

Can you stay in Peniche without a car?

Yes. Peniche town is the most practical base without a car for restaurants, shops and the Berlengas harbour. Baleal can also work if your trip is mainly about the beach and nearby surf spots.

How many nights should you spend in Peniche?

Two or three nights work well for a first trip. Stay longer if you want several surf days, slower beach time or enough flexibility to visit the Berlengas when sea conditions are suitable.

Is Ferrel a good place to stay?

Ferrel is a strong choice for quieter evenings, good restaurants and longer stays near Baleal. It is most convenient with a car, although some accommodation is within walking distance of the beach.
