Tourist Office
by yumyum
The lady at the tourist office was very helpful. Don’t just ask for a map but do as I did and ask what there is to see. That way we were pointed out all the main sights including the rocky coastline, the citadel, the old town wall, the beaches and the place where you enquire about boat trips to Berlenga island.

The Town
by solopes
Most of the visitors don't spend much time with the town itself.
But if you have time, give it some minutes: it´s an old town, surrounded by strong and old walls, with the look and smells of the dominant sea, the life of the harbour, the gardens, and... attention... thousands of seagulls...
More churches
by yumyum
On picture no 1 and 2 you may see the little Hermitage Santa Cruz which you will find on Marginal Sul, the main road taking you to the cape.
The Church Senhor do Calvario you will find on a small square by the Rua do Calvario (picture no 3).
The Church of Nossa Senhora da Ajuda can be seen close to the previous one on Rua da Liberdade (picture 4). Next to it on a grassy patch there is a monument (picture 5).
One of Portugals most active fishing ports.

"Visited on my way from Areia Branca to Obidos"
So why not visit. Another fortress and rugged coastline- out to the Cape Carvoeiro.
The sixteenth century fortress/Fortaleza at Peniche was one of the dictator Salazar's most notorious jails expanded to accommodate the growing crowds of political prisoners.
"Cabo Carvoeiro"
Rugged coastline with crashing blue water around the Cape with its lighthouse and views over to the Island of Behlenga 10 km away offshore.
