Peniche, Portugal

A convenient pause along our coastal journey and without any prior research on this location, Peniche totally surprised with much more than great scenery and surfing!

 

View from our hotel balcony

 

 

 

 

Walk on path thru’ the dunes

 

Not just surf that’s up–surfer in back is ‘way up

 

Apart from fab surf, history rules here! Awestruck as usual by the thickness of walls, overall size of structures, and their incredibly dangerous yet strategic vantages.

 

 

 

 

 

Barely a peep-hole in massively thick walls

 

 

Perched on cliff…

 

…with this view!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uh-huh, a metal gazebo

 

Time to depart Fort Peniche
