It's a small island located along the Southwest coast of the civil parish of Porto Covo, in the county of Sines. The island and the adjacent coast are part of Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, but Pessegueiro island is also noticeable for the 15th-16th century fort located at its center and Roman ruins along the coast.
It is possible to dive around the island (only accessible by boat). All the dives are shallow but full of marine life.
Rock formations with cracks, holes, and little tunnels where we can see Moray eels, Octopuses, Goby and juvenile fish that seek protection there.
