Baleal is a small island located 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) north of Peniche, in the western region of Portugal, separated from the mainland by a tombolo. At the extremity of the island one can find the inaccessible ilhota das Pombas and the ilhéu de Fora. Baleal has a past related to whaling.

Up and coming surfing town with multiple bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Busy nightlife especially on weekends. Taxi costs approximately €20 from Praia del Rey resort.
