Praia
Del Rey
The local Praia Del Rey beach stretches for miles in both directions from the resort and is excellent for sunbathing, walking and surfing. It's a five minute walk from most of our properties and there are two parking areas for beach access. There is an unmade road from Praia D'El Rey all the way to Baleal. The drive takes about fifteen minutes and includes three more surfing beaches, two very popular beaches at Baleal, the huge bay at Peniche and Supertubos on the other side of the Peniche peninsular. For most weeks of the year surfers from Portugal and all over Europe find their way to these beaches. |

The
local beach is patrolled during the peak season and a lifeguard
is based at the beach access beneath the Marriott Hotel. Swimmers
and surfers not used to the awesome Atlantic surf should observe
the Safe and Danger flags.

" The
surf here is as good or better than any in Europe. It's certainly
better than the other places we have been to like France, Lanzarote,
Fuerta Ventura and the Dominican Republic. Some days are better
than others but in the two weeks we've been here most days
have been good. Baleal is our favourite and it's less than
ten minutes
away. Supertubos is even better when the wind and tide are
right." Johnathan,
September, 2005.
