O Farol do Cabo Carvoeiro assinala de modo imponente a ponta escarpada da PenĂ­nsula de Peniche. É gerido pela Direcção de FarĂłis da Marinha e Ă© formado por trĂȘs edifĂ­cios rectangulares tĂ©rreos, no eixo dos quais se ergue a torre prismĂĄtica de 27 metros de altura e 84 metros de altura focal. Possui uma Ăłptica selada Fresnel de terceira ordem que emite grupos de trĂȘs relĂąmpagos vermelhos a cada 15 segundos de ocultação, visĂ­veis a 15 milhas nĂĄuticas.

A fim de melhorar as ajudas à navegação, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, ministro de Dom José I, criou o Serviço de Faróis por alvarå de 1 de Fevereiro de 1758, mandando logo erguer seis faróis: o do Cabo Carvoeiro foi um deles. Inaugurado em 1790, junto às ruínas de uma capela dedicada a Nossa Senhora da Vitória (que no passado suportou um facho para a orientação da navegação costeira), funcionava com dezasseis candeeiros Argand com reflectores parabólicos e alimentados a azeite, emitindo uma luz branca fixa visível a cerca de 9 milhas marítimas.

Em 1881, a ComissĂŁo de FarĂłis e Balizas do MinistĂ©rio das Finanças, verificando a sua degradação acentuada, determinou a sua modernização: mantinham-se as construçÔes pombalinas, mas o sistema iluminante passou a ser uma lanterna Fresnel, de terceira ordem, com candeeiro de petrĂłleo com trĂȘs torcidas, que emitia uma luz vermelha fixa visĂ­vel a 10 milhas marĂ­timas. TambĂ©m recebeu um sinal sonoro a ar comprimido, alimentado por um compressor a vapor. Em 1923, o aparelho foi novamente trocado por um sistema Fresnel de quarta ordem, grande modelo, movido por uma mĂĄquina de relojoaria e alimentado por incandescĂȘncia de gĂĄs, passando a emitir grupos de quatro relĂąmpagos vermelhos a cada dez segundos de ocultação, visĂ­veis a doze milhas marĂ­timas. Electrificado em 1952, foi automatizado em 1988,...

In Peniche, I was mesmerized by the sheer rugged beauty of the coast where the Atlantic Ocean meets Europe. Standing by the iconic lighthouse, I gazed across dramatic cliffs shaped by wind and waves, and marveled at the geological wonders like the canyon and underwater structures that make these shores so unique. This peninsula is famed for its surf spots, rich maritime culture, and natural splendor—truly a perfect place to witness the power and tranquility...

Spectacular setting and views! My two observations are that there wasn't enough signage about how unique the geology of the area is, and also that there are virtually no rails, supports, or other means of preventing the public from injury, either minor or major! I realize that this might be a cultural difference with me, but some types of handholds and supports should be inexpensive and...

Beautiful surroundings, impressive limestone coast, not crowded with tourists - really an amazing spot to visit, to see the coast, to see nice stone formations. The lighthouse is still active, so cannot be visited. But in essence, it’s more about seeing the coast, so definitely worth a visit!
