Ferrel

Ferrel is best known in Portugal for the surf beaches around Baleal. This parish in the municipality of Peniche stands on the Atlantic coast, where open-ocean swells meet broad stretches of sand and low, wind-shaped headlands. Baleal, a rocky islet connected to the mainland by a sandy strip, gives the shoreline a distinctive form and separates beaches with different exposure to the sea. The nearby town of Peniche retains a working fishing identity, while its 16th-century fortress later served as a political prison during the Estado Novo dictatorship.
