In some of the many caves of Berlenga Island there is enough water seepage along the walls which, along with the constant shade, stimulate growth of species such as Asplenium marinum and Lemna minor. The “Gruta do Espanhol”, nearby the beach of the “Carreiro do Mosteiro” is a good example of this habitat.

Great coordination, fantastic view. I wish I had brought my swimming suit. There is a little beautiful beach by the fort.

Nice Excursion to a small island. Great Views.... Cool Tours actually provides transport to boat dock in Peniche. Then you board a boat with 'Feeling Berlenga' for transport to Island. A small beach is available so bring a suit if you want to swim.... There is hiking on trails (no need for hiking boots). A restaurant and a snack bar are available to eat. There is a Fortress to visit (additional entrance fee is required). You take a small glass bottom boat to tour the caves. A nice tour that is a bit out of the usual tourist itinerary. There is no shade so be prepared for sun. A nice way to spend the day.
