Top 5 of Nazaré
Nazaré — The Power of the Atlantic and the Soul of Traditions
Nazaré is one of Portugal’s most charismatic and authentic villages. With its whitewashed streets, fishing traditions and the giant waves that fascinate the world, it’s a destination that combines emotion, faith and natural beauty. Here, the Atlantic shows all its strength and the people of Nazaré reveal all their soul.
1. Sítio and the São Miguel Arcanjo Fort
At the top of the cliff stands Sítio da Nazaré, the most iconic spot in the village.
From there, the panoramic view over the sea and the beach is simply breathtaking.
The São Miguel Arcanjo Fort, famous for its red lighthouse, preserves the history of Nazaré’s Giant Waves, surfed by world-renowned athletes.
📸 Tip: visit the museum inside the fort — there you’ll find the surfboards of the record-holders who challenged the biggest waves on the planet.
2. Praia do Norte — The Biggest Waves in the World
Known worldwide, Praia do Norte is the stage for the natural phenomenon that turned Nazaré into an icon of international surfing.
Thanks to the Nazaré Canyon, a submarine geological fault that amplifies Atlantic swells, the waves here can exceed 30 meters in height.
🌊 Best time: between October and March, when Atlantic storms create the ideal conditions to witness the spectacle of giant waves.
3. Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré
In the heart of Sítio, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré is a place of faith and devotion that has attracted pilgrims for centuries.
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary saved Dom Fuas Roupinho from falling off the cliff — a miracle that gave rise to the town’s religious fame.
🕊️ Don’t miss: the sacred image of Our Lady of Nazaré, brought, according to tradition, from the Holy Land in the 4th century.
4. Nazaré Beach — Tradition and Local Life
Nazaré Beach is the heart of the village: colorful boats, fishermen mending their nets, and the women of the seven skirts selling dried fish.
Here, you experience the genuine daily life of a fishing village that has kept its traditions intact.
It is also one of the liveliest beaches in summer, with a wide sandy shore, cafés, and seafront restaurants.
5. Suberco Viewpoint
Standing 110 metres above sea level, the Suberco Viewpoint offers one of the most impressive views over the town, the beach, and the ocean.
It is the perfect spot to watch the sunset and feel the Atlantic breeze, with the sound of seagulls and the scent of the sea completing the scene.
🌅 Photography tip: the contrast between the white houses, golden sand, and the blue of the sea creates one of the most beautiful images in Portugal.
