Ilha de Berlengas

Located opposite to Peniche, the Archipelago consists of 3 groups of small islands: Berlenga Grande (the only inhabited one, that can be visited by boat from Peniche) and the nearby reefs, Estelas and Farilhões-Forcadas; their geological nature is different from that of the Portuguese coast.

The Islands have their particular fauna and flora, with characteristics that make their ecosystem unique in the world, the importance of which was recognised by the creation of the Berlenga Nature Reserve in 1981.

The Berlengas archipelago is a true geological monument, an important testimony of the History of the Earth and the formation of continents and oceans.

Berlengas can be reached with a ferry and there are several other local tour operators that organise activities and experiences, such as dolphin spotting, scuba diving or individual boat trips on boats with glass bottom to watch the sea beneath.
