Berlengas Island in the Silver Coast was classified by UNESCO as a World Natural Reserve

Berlengas Island in the Silver Coast has just been classified by UNESCO as a World Natural Reserve
 
The Berlenga Island is about 7 miles from the Peniche Port (Portugal).

It is 1500 meters long and 800 meters wide, with a perimeter of 4000 meters and reaches 88 meters at its highest point and –30 meters at its lowest.

It is a region of great interest for botanical specialists with several endemic species and species of limited distribution.
Important nesting spot for some species of ocean birds (such as the guillemot - Airo uria aalge- , a symbol of the reserve), and a passing point for several migratory species.

It is a Maritime Natural Reserve of great wild life richness, particularly ichthyology.
 
Visits are possible, but restricted, by boat that can be accessed by the Port of Peniche.
The islands is a fantastic scene for observing the natural caves on a boat guided visit.
There is a restaurant that serves fantastic fish meals!
 
We invite you to visit the Berlegas Islands! Worth while!
