About the destination

Nazaré is a traditional Portuguese fishing town turned laid‑back beach resort, famous for its dramatic Atlantic coastline and some of the biggest waves on the planet. At first glance, the town charms visitors with its wide sandy bay, whitewashed houses, and elderly fishwives still wearing their iconic seven skirts. Wander along the seafront promenade to find open‑air fish dryers and casual seafood restaurants serving grilled sardines, caldeirada (fish stew), and arroz de marisco (seafood rice). The town is essentially divided in two. Down by the water is Praia da Nazaré, perfect for sunbathing, swimming in summer, and people‑watching from café terraces. High above, on a cliff overlooking the bay, lies Sítio, the historic quarter. You can reach it via a short but steep funicular ride, rewarded at the top with sweeping views, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, and the small chapel of Ermida da Memória tied to the town’s medieval miracle legend. Nazaré is world‑renowned among surfers for Praia do Norte, just around the headland from the main beach. Here, a unique underwater canyon helps produce colossal winter swells that can exceed 20–25 meters, drawing big‑wave surfers and spectators from across the globe. Even if you’re not surfing, the lighthouse at Fort São Miguel Arcanjo offers a front‑row vantage point over the raging Atlantic, especially impressive from October to March. Beyond the beach and waves, Nazaré makes an excellent base for exploring Portugal’s Silver Coast. Day trips to the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha, the medieval town of Óbidos, or the pilgrimage site of Fátima are all within easy reach. Whether you come for tranquil summer days, storm‑watching in winter, or a dose of authentic maritime culture, Nazaré delivers a mix of tradition, natural spectacle, and relaxed coastal charm.
