From Lisbon Airport to Baleal

You leave the airport in direction to A1 – Porto, and after driving for about 2 kilometres out of the airport you’ll have an exit to A8 – Oeste. Take that exit. After the exit, stay at your left until you’re back on the road.

You’ll drive about 4 kilometres and get into a tunnel. In the tunnel, stay at your right. In the very end of the tunnel you turn right, still heading to A8 – Oeste or A8 - Leiria. You go down for about 1 kilometre and stay on your left until you enter the A8. After about 4km you have to stop to get the ticket for the toll.

There are several entrances, two of which are for Via Verde. They have green lights on the side and a big V. That's an automatic payment system for subscribers, avoid that. You have to get the ticket manually. Don’t loose that ticket, otherwise you’ll pay big time.

Stay in the A8 for about 70 kilometres. You’ll have to pay tolls (about 4.5 eur).

After those tolls where you pay, 30 more kilometres and you’ll have an exit to IP6 – Peniche. It’s exit number 14. Exit 13 also says Peniche but it’s a longer drive. ---->

Follow the IP6 for about 20 kilometres. You’ll see Peniche in the horizon.

Arriving in Peniche, you’ll pass 3 roundabouts. First 2 you follow to Peniche, 3rd you follow to Casais do Baleal. (turn right)

5 kilometres of road with dunes on your left and you’ll enter Casais do Baleal.

At the first roundabout in Baleal, turn left and park your car. You’ll be right by the beaches and the access to the Island. Give me a call then and I will meet up with you and take you to your accommodation. You're less than 200 meters away.

If you have a Iphone or Android enabled phone, there's a free GPS program with the portuguese maps. Look for TMN Drive in either the App Store or Google Play.
