Interesting fort with magnificent walls that dominate the harbour entrance to Peniche , the fort later in its life became a prison and is now a museum open daily free to the public with loads of stories of the inmates , it is a massive structure and will take a bit of time to explore . The town and surrounding area is worth a long visit , two town beaches and a larger one with massive dunes as you enter the peninsula to the left side , loads of restaurants in the town with a variety of dishes . Lovely cycle or walk around the peninsula and out to the beach and further if you require. There are a couple of campsites and large free car park area as you enter the town along the river . The town is definitely worth a long visit .
