A view of its western side. The leaning geologic layers are quite eye catching. Also visible: the remains of the Frenchmen's Fortlet and a small automatic lighthouse; part of the Outside Islet, as well. The photo was taken from Pôr-do-sol Street (Sunset Street), Baleal, Peniche. HFW!

Long ago Baleal was an island. An isthm of sand increased throughout the centuries, until it became a peninsula of Peniche, which had also been an island, until an isthm of sand definitely connected it to the mainland. We can see remains of the Frenchmen's Fortlet and part of the outer islet. HFW!
