Rock Formations at Peniche/Santa Cruz

Highlight • Natural Monument

17.2 km

If you decide to dangle over the Peniche peninsula, you will be rewarded with a wild, romantic sea view and geological peculiarities. 20 million years of Portuguese geological history are visible here: different layers of carbonate sedimentary rocks that go back to the Jurassic period. On the small Papoa Island, which you can see here, you can watch numerous migratory birds.
