On a rocky peninsula jutting into the Atlantic 90 kilometres north of Lisbon, Peniche has about 15,662 residents. The Fortaleza de Peniche, a sixteenth-century fortress on the isthmus, served as a political prison during the Salazar dictatorship. Alvaro Cunhal, leader of the Portuguese Communist Party, escaped from the fortress in 1960 in one of the most celebrated prison breaks in Portuguese history, climbing down the walls with nine other prisoners.
Supertubos beach, south of the town, hosts the World Surf League's MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal, considered one of the heaviest beachbreak waves on the competitive tour. The Berlengas Islands, a nature reserve seven nautical miles offshore, shelter colonies of guillemots, puffins, and shearwaters on volcanic rock formations. The Sao Joao Baptista fortress on Berlenga Grande island, accessible by boat from Peniche, dates to the seventeenth century.
The town's fishing industry, particularly sardines and peniche lace (renda de bilros), continues. Hotels in Peniche accommodate companion meetings.
