Peniche de Cima Beach
Portugal, Пениши

Peniche de Cima Beach, also known as Praia do Cerro, lies on the northern edge of the Peniche peninsula. It stretches out in a broad expanse of pale sand, facing the open Atlantic and capturing the essence of coastal Portugal — calm, raw, and luminous.


This beach is known for its clean, fine sand and the sense of space it offers. A breakwater on the northern side helps protect the shore from stronger swells, making it suitable for safe swimming. The water is cool and clear, and the gentle slope into the sea makes it especially friendly for families with children. Despite being close to the town, the ambiance remains peaceful, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon.


Facilities include wooden walkways, showers, nearby cafés, and protected dunes with designated ecological paths. It’s a place for both leisure and sport — with kitesurfers and bodyboarders making the most of favorable winds.


Conveniently located between central Peniche and neighboring beaches such as Gamboa and Cova da Alfarroba, it’s ideal for oceanfront walks, sunset watching, and relaxation. Praia de Peniche de Cima offers open horizons, Atlantic breezes, and a quiet, natural connection to the sea.
