<\/p>\n

A beautiful island range you\u2019ve probably never heard of is known to be like paradise, and you really must consider visiting when you\u2019re next in Portugal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The small archipelago of granite islands has been designated as a nature reserve since 1465, meaning you can see beautiful local fauna and flora, including some stunning sea birds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While there is not so much plant life due to its rocky nature, the Berlengas Islands, just off the southern west coast, have abundant reserves of marine life too, like mackerel, mullet and swordfish.<\/p>\n

Tourists are often treated to fresh fish for lunch, while tour guides take them around the many spine-tingling caves on offer – one review on\u00a0Tripadvisor\u00a0admitted the travel from Lisbon was absolutely \u201cworth it\u201d, as she described the \u201ccrystal clear water\u201d and \u201camazing sand\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The archipelago is made up of Berlenga Grande – the main island – and two sets of smaller islets. Because of its designation as part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO, the Berlengas are usually only visited by scientists – but a lucky small number of tourists are allowed in each summer too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just a forty-five minute boat ride away from the mainland town of Peniche, the islands have gorgeous summer temperatures.<\/p>\n

You can soak up the sun on various beaches, including Berlenga Grande Beach with its golden sands and turquoise waters, tucked into a cosy cove, or relax on the equally magnificent Gamboa Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
