Peniche

Peniche is becoming a go-to digital nomad destination as spots like Ericeira and Lisbon have grown expensive and crowded. Known for its relaxed vibe, Peniche provides a peaceful and quiet setting that's ideal for focused remote work. The Largo co-working space is central to the nomad scene here, offering reliable high-speed internet and a comfortable space to get things done. There's a small but welcoming community of fellow nomads to connect with, ensuring a good work-life balance.

For those into surfing, Peniche delivers some of the best surf conditions in Europe, with both beginner-friendly schools and more advanced waves. Diving is another highlight, especially at the Berlenga islands with their scenic underwater caves. The cost of living is low, making it a budget-friendly choice, and locals are generally friendly and easy-going.

However, Peniche isn’t for everyone. Winters can be cold, and outside of surf culture, activities—especially nightlife—are quite limited in the off-season. This may feel isolating for those seeking a fast-paced social environment year-round. Overall, it’s a solid pick for nomads looking for surf, quiet, and affordability—just be ready for slower winters.
