Peniche is a working fishing port and surf town on the Atlantic coast of central Portugal, jutting out on a headland about 85 kilometres north of Lisbon and 25 kilometres west of Caldas da Rainha. It is home to Supertubos, one of Europe's top surf breaks and host to the annual WSL Championship Tour event. The combination of surf, fishing village character and affordable Atlantic property has made Peniche one of the fastest-growing British expat destinations on the Silver Coast. London to Peniche is about 1,570 miles by road.
A dedicated vehicle from London to Peniche takes 3 to 4 days. Part load removals take 10 to 21 days. Peniche is reached from Caldas da Rainha via the EN114, about 25 kilometres west. It is on the Silver Coast consolidated run and served by the same groupage departures as Caldas da Rainha, Óbidos and Nazaré. Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth or Plymouth to Santander is a good option for western UK collections. The IC2 south from Leiria then the EN114 west is the standard approach.
Peniche is a working port town built on a headland connected to the mainland by a short isthmus. The town has good lorry access via the EN114 and the main port road. The historic fortified old town (Peniche de Cima) on the headland has some narrow streets, but most residential Peniche is in the modern zones on the isthmus and the areas north of the port which are fully accessible. The popular surf beach of Supertubos is south of the town on the EN114 with good road access. Baleal island to the north, connected by a causeway, has standard road access.

Peniche town and the modern residential zones on the isthmus are fully accessible by lorry via the EN114. The port area and the industrial quayside have wide roads designed for fishing vessel freight traffic. The fortified headland old town (Peniche de Cima) has some narrow streets near the Fortaleza de Peniche but most residential addresses in Peniche are in the accessible modern zones. The Supertubos beach area to the south is on the EN114 with good access.
Baleal, the small island village connected to Peniche by a causeway to the north, has the causeway road as its only vehicle access. The causeway is approximately 3.5 metres wide at its narrowest point. A full-size removal lorry may not be able to cross safely. Confirm the causeway width with the partner mover before booking a Baleal address. Properties on the Baleal island itself may require a relay from the mainland side of the causeway. The coastal cliff road north of Peniche towards Ferrel has some narrow sections.
