Cabo Carvoeiro lies at the westernmost point of the Peniche peninsula, next to the Atlantic ocean, in the Peniche municipality, Oeste Subregion. It faces the Berlengas archipelago, integrated in a natural terrestrial and maritime reserve.

The 25 m high Cabo Carvoeiro lighthouse was erected at that place, because of the numerous Shipwreck occurring there. In the neighboring Gruta da Furninha, prehistoric remains of human occupation were found.
