Berlengas

Berlengas
The Berlengas archipelago is a group of very small islands on the Portuguese coast, near the city of Peniche.
Nowadays, the archipelago has no permanent population. The fort is now partially converted into a rest house. As the archipelago has been declared a reserve area due to the local fauna (sea birds, mostly), It is only visited by scientists and, at summer, by a small number of tourists.
In Berlenga Grande Island there are many beaches, with waters very clean with barrier reefs and vibrant marine life. Part of the island was ripped off in the past, forming a separated part of the island called Ilha Velha (Old Island).
