Cabo Carvoeiro
The Cabo Carvoeiro lies on the Atlantic coast, along the westernmost point of the Peniche Peninsula, in the civil parish of Peniche, Portuguese Oeste region.
Opposite the archipelago of the Berlengas, the cape is integrated into a natural terrestrial and maritime reserve, in the vicinity of the Gruta da Furninha, a site known for the discovery of prehistoric remains suggesting human occupation since the Neolithic.
Owing to historical storms and shipwreck, a high lighthouse was constructed on the promontory to assist maritime shipping.
