Beautiful small island, which is called "Ilha do Pessegueiro" by the way, there is the possibility to cross over then you can also visit the Forte de Santo Alberto

Pessegueiro Island Beach is located opposite the island that gives it its name, where there are traces of a very ancient occupation, such as the fish salting factory from Roman times, which is thought to be the origin of its name, derived from the Latin "piscatorius".

During the summer, several boats offer tours of the island, crossing the channel that was used as a safe haven by the Romans and Carthaginians and which today offers excellent conditions for water sports such as windsurfing, canoeing and diving.
