Peniche is one of Europe's premier surf destinations — home to Supertubos, one of the best beach breaks in the world, and host to the WSL Championship Tour. But you don't need to surf to love it here. Baleal is a near-island connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand, surrounded by beaches on every side. These five stays put you as close to the Atlantic as you can get.
The standout of this selection — a proper beachfront house on Baleal, rated 9.0 from 8 guests. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, sleeps 8. Great living room with ocean views, a balcony and a terrace. Steps from Baleal Beach and Baleal Island. The kind of location that justifies the trip regardless of the surf conditions. The most characterful stay on this page.
Four bedrooms, a proper garden and countryside setting close to Baleal — a good choice for larger families or groups who want space and calm without sacrificing beach access. Villa Oliveira is a new listing without reviews yet, but the location and size make it a practical option for those who find Baleal's beachfront properties too small or too exposed. VRBO guarantee applies.
Oceanfront on Baleal — which means the Atlantic is the view from every window. Private terrace, sunrise sea views and direct access to the beach. A new listing without reviews yet, but the position is exceptional — this is the kind of address that justifies the journey even before you unpack. For those who come to Baleal for the ocean, not despite it.
Located in Ferrel, within a 15-minute walk of Baleal Beach, Peniche Beach and Baleal Island. A villa with genuine beach proximity — Almagreira Beach is under 1.5km away. The name is straightforward: this is a beautiful villa in a beautiful location. Good for families who want the Baleal atmosphere without being right on the sand.
The surf rental inclusion sets this apart — arrive and the boards are already there. Hot tub, private sunny garden and fast Wi-Fi round out a property that works equally well for surfers who want to recover in the evening and non-surfers who just want the Atlantic close by. Within 2km of Peniche Beach, Baleal Beach and Baleal Island. The most complete package on this page for surf-oriented groups.
