Peniche is a coastal city in western Portugal, situated in the Oeste region. Historically, it served as a significant fishing port and played a role in Portugal’s maritime explorations during the Age of Discovery. More recently, Peniche has become internationally recognized as a prominent surfing destination due to its consistent wave conditions, hosting stages of the World Surf League Championship Tour annually at Supertubos beach. The town also holds historical importance related to its fortress, *Fortaleza de Peniche*, which served as a political prison during the Estado Novo regime in the 20th century. The fortress now operates as a museum detailing this period of Portuguese history. The surrounding area features rugged coastline and traditional Portuguese architecture alongside modern tourist facilities.
