Pedro DominguesNazaré almost needs no introduction, as it became internationally famous for its giant waves, when Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a wave over 23 meters high at North Beach, thus breaking the Guinness World Record. After that, even bigger waves were surfed there and new records were set.
Nazaré is really an impressive place to visit in Portugal, not only because it is the “Mecca of Surf”, but also because it has an enormous scenic beauty, with one of the most spectacular beaches on the Portuguese coast. It is also a land of fishermen, with very strong and ancestral traditions associated with the sea, where Xávega Art of trawl fishing is still practised.
A visit to Nazaré is a must on a trip through central Portugal. In this article you will find a huge list of things to do in Nazaré, with all the tourist attractions that are essential to discover there. I hope you have a lot of fun in my country!
Where is Nazaré located, in Portugal?
Nazaré is a Portuguese town in the district of Leiria and on the Atlantic coast, bounded by land by the municipality of Alcobaça. It contains not only the beaches around Sítio da Nazaré but also those that extend almost to São Martinho do Porto, another awesome beach in the region.

How to get to Nazaré?
If you want to visit Nazaré but haven’t bought tickets to Portugal yet, I recommend that you use Skyscanner or Google Flights to do a search before buying them, comparing prices and flight conditions. You have many connections with Porto or Lisbon from abroad.
Already in Portugal, it is very easy to get to Nazaré by public transport, whether from Lisbon or Porto, or from other major cities in the country. For example, traveling in express buses from Rede Expressos.
As this is a very compact county, where the essentials are right around Sítio da Nazaré and Nazaré beach, I don’t think it’s mandatory to have a car. However, consider renting one with Discover Cars, if you want more flexibility in your itinerary, or also want to know the surroundings and even more of the excellent west coast of Portugal.
Note that you can also reach Nazaré on a guided tour departing from Lisbon. For example, through the following: 1 - Tour to visit Fátima, Óbidos, Batalha and Nazaré 2 - Tour to visit Fátima, Nazaré, Óbidos and São Martinho do Porto 3 - Tour to visit Óbidos, Nazaré and Alcobaça
Take out Travel Insurance to visit Portugal
To be protected against several types of travel hazards, I also recommend that you take out travel insurance for your stay in Portugal, and I recommend to do it with World Nomads.
When to visit Nazaré?
Nazaré is essentially a summer destination, but its beauty, its traditions and its waves make people choose to visit it in all seasons, without exception. To observe or surf the big waves, in particular, you should visit Nazaré in autumn or winter, for example. Nazaré also has many annual events of great interest, such as:
- The Festivities of São Sebastião, in January. It is a religious event but also gastronomic, taking place in Valado de Frades.
- The Pilgrimage of São Brás, in February, which marks the beginning of the Carnival festivities. How about going to see the Nazaré Carnival too?
- The Folk Festival of Rancho Tá-Mar da Nazaré, in April. An excellent moment to see up close the typical costumes of the region. 😉
- The Festival of the Man of the Sea, in May. There is a procession on the sea with several boats, and even a mass in the middle of the beach.
- Valado dos Frades Jazz Festival in May.
- The recreation of traditional fishing by Arte Xávega on Nazaré beach, in the months of May and June, every Saturday afternoon.
- The National Festival of Folklore of the Ethnographic Group of Dances and Songs of Nazaré, in July.
- Nazaré Wave Festival, in August.
- The Festivities at Sítio da Nazaré, in September. They are the main ones in the municipality, and take place in the Atlantic Park in homage to Nossa Senhora da Nazaré. Of note are the music concerts, the performance of folk groups and the gastronomic taverns.
- Nazaré Half Marathon, which has been held since 1975. It was the first in Portugal, and has the nickname of “Mother of Half Marathons”. It takes place in November.
- And New Year’s Eve in Nazaré, which is one of the busiest and most famous in the whole country.
Info about the Legend of Sítio da Nazaré
I now present to you a brief historical introduction about Nazaré, and also about its legend. On a historical level, did you know that until the beginning of the 17th century there was only Sítio da Nazaré and Pederneira, since the sea occupied the current place of the beach? It was only with the retreat of sea waters that people began to settle on the coast.
LEGEND OF SÍTIO DA NAZARÉ: Legend has it that D. Fuas Roupinho, an important figure in the Christian reconquest, was hunting on September 14, 1182, chasing a deer in thick fog, when he suddenly found himself on the verge of falling over a precipice. D. Fuas only had time to beg for help from Our Lady of Nazaré, to whom he was devoted, and his horse immediately stopped where it was, miraculously avoiding the fall that would be fatal. It is believed that the deer was actually the devil in disguise! As a form of gratitude, D. Fuas had the Chapel of Memory built there, and the place where the miracle had happened was renamed Sítio de Nossa Senhora da Nazaré.
Info about the 7 Skirts of Nazaré
In addition to the Legend of Sítio da Nazaré, it is important to know the typical costume of Nazaré, especially the tradition associated with the 7 skirts. 😉 Unlike the men’s costume, which today is practically only used by folk groups, the 7 skirts of the women’s costume continue to be seen a lot when passing through the village, mainly in small shops and taverns, and the municipality encourages this to continue to happen.
The 7 Skirts of the Nazarene woman are interpreted in different ways: the seven virtues, the seven days of the week, the seven colors of the rainbow, or even the seven waves of the sea necessary for the sea to be shallow enough for the boat to strand on the beach. The meaning most accepted by all is exactly this last one, in which the women would count the waves of the sea with their skirts while they waited and watched the arrival of their husbands and children to land. Beautiful, don’t you think? 🙂
Well, honestly it was because of the cold. It was common for the women to wait for their relatives by the sea, sitting on the sand in the beach, even in very cold conditions. Regardless of the number 7, they needed to cover the whole body with enough clothes not to freeze, hence the high number of skirts. Today, the number 7 is no longer taken into account, but rather the aesthetics of the final set, with women wearing more than 7 skirts, for example.
Info about Nazaré Canyon – the reason for the Giant Waves
Regarding Nazaré Canyon, it is important to know about it, as it is the main reason for the big waves at North Beach. In the small museum of the fort of Nazaré, you will find a lot of useful information about it, but in this article I also present to you some curiosities, and I leave you a video that is extremely interesting and enlightening about the phenomenon. 😉
The Nazaré Canyon is one of the largest submarine canyons in Europe, and roughly consists of a huge valley on the bottom of the sea, very steep and approximately 230km long and 5km at its maximum depth. The waves are broken up at the entrance of the canyon, and then are amplified and accelerated as they travel through it, being redirected towards the north beach in the end, where they join those that did not pass through the canyon, forming giant waves at that moment.
Obviously, the canyon was not enough to form the waves that broke Guinness records. It is important that the sea is already rough, as a result of storms in the Atlantic, for example. The giant waves have the canyon as the main reason, but other factors are needed simultaneously for them to be the biggest in the world!
Gastronomy and Restaurants in Nazaré
Fish inevitably appears as the main gastronomic element when visiting Nazaré. Choose to try the typical Caldeirada Nazarena, the seafood cataplana, the sardines or the fresh grilled sea bass, and how about the dried horse mackerel that you find for sale on the avenue next to the beach?
As far as sweets are concerned, the sweet sardines are the best known in Nazaré. However, at this level I recommend a detour to visit Alcobaça, where you will find much more appetizing and delicious convent sweets. 😉 And how about accompanying a good sweet with Óbidos ginjinha, a delicious liqueur in Portugal? 😉
As for Restaurants in Nazaré, there are many good options, such as Maria do Mar, Rosa dos Ventos, Casalinho, Luís da Nazaré, Pangeia, Casa Pires, Taberna d’Adelia, etc. The amount of good restaurants in this region is impressive, so you should also do your own research, and ask the people there, when you get to town.

Things to do in Nazaré | Portugal
Finally, my list of best things to do in Nazaré. I will divide the article into Sítio da Nazaré, Praia da Nazaré, Pederneira, rest of the coast of Nazaré and other places in the municipality that can be considered optional, except for Mount of São Bartolomeu. 😉 Ready to get to know the itinerary I prepared?
Map | Things to do in Nazaré
Visit Sítio da Nazaré and North Beach
I recommend that you start your itinerary at Sítio da Nazaré. If you get there early in the morning, it will be relatively easy to park in the vicinity of the sanctuary, or at least it was for me the last time I was there, and it was summer! Sítio da Nazaré is the small town on top of the cliffs you see from Nazaré main beach.
1. Nazaré Promontory and Suberco Viewpoint
Start by visiting Suberco Viewpoint, right next to the impressive promontory of Nazaré. This is the best known and most visited viewpoint, with an unmistakable view over the beach and town of Nazaré.
2. Chapel of Memory
The Chapel of Memory is right next to Suberco viewpoint. It is the old chapel associated with the Legend of Sítio da Nazaré, already mentioned in this article. It appeared, according to tradition, after the miracle of 1182, and you can go and venerate the image of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré inside. Also noteworthy are its tiles.
3. Surfer Deer
Proceed to Nazaré fort, but do not use the lighthouse road for this purpose, as it is much more interesting to walk along the edge of the promontory, obviously keeping the proper safety distance. Along the way you will find other amazing viewpoints overlooking Nazaré beach and the coast that extends to São Martinho do Porto.
One of the highlights on the way to the lighthouse is also the sculpture of the Deer Surfer, which once again recalls the legend of Sítio da Nazaré, associating it with the most popular sport in the area: surfing. As a curiosity, the statue is 6 meters high and weighs 10 tons.
4. São Miguel Arcanjo Fort and Nazaré Lighthouse
It is mandatory to visit the Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo, thus accessing the Lighthouse of Nazaré and also a museum dedicated to the giant waves of North Beach, and to the great names of surfing that have already passed through there. Inside you’ll find loads of surfboards, including, for example, Garrett McNamara’s.
- The construction of the Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo dates back to the reign of D. Sebastião, in the 16th century, and was intended to defend the coast of Nazaré against pirate attacks, which were very common at that time.
- It was also the scene of battles during the French invasions, having been taken by the enemy to fight against the population of Sítio da Nazaré and Pederneira. The Nazarenes ended up winning and recovering the fort.
- Small battles were also fought there at the time of the liberal struggles. The stone image of St. Michael, over the entrance portico, was vandalized at that time.
- Only at the beginning of the 20th century was the lighthouse of Nazaré added, to support fishermen going out to sea.
5. Guilhim Rock
Don’t miss the famous Guilhim Rock, where the waves first break before reaching the promontory of Nazaré. It is a large rock separated from the coast, but very close to the beach. It is at the origin of many expressions of Nazaré, such as the following one:
- May you have as much peace as Guilhim Rock has, on a day when the sea is rough (a curse you say to someone you don’t like very much). 😀
6. North Beach and Forno da Orca Cave
The descent to North Beach is done directly by the cliff, from the fort of São Miguel Arcanjo. At the base you will find a huge cave called Forno da Orca, and many other notable rock formations, as you can see from the photos below. The beach has no surveillance, and still maintains its wild appearance, with a rough and dangerous sea used mainly by surfers. This is the beach of the giant waves on Nazaré!
7. Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré
On your way back to the center of Sítio da Nazaré, you will discover more of the town, starting with the square where the aforementioned Suberco Viewpoint is located. There you can visit the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, dating from the 14th century, and which was built during the pilgrimage of King Fernando to this place, who considered that the Chapel of Memory was not enough to receive the high number of devotees of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré at that time.
The church is beautiful on the outside, but especially on the inside, being the result of artistic interventions during the 17th and 18th centuries. Noteworthy, for example, are the Dutch tile panels.
8. Rector Luís Nesi Museum
Next to the church, you can also visit the sacred art museum that was created in honor of Luís Nesi, rector of the sanctuary for more than 20 years, in the past. Its collection consists of liturgical implements, cult pieces and even some offerings from the faithful to Nossa Senhora da Nazaré.
9. Museum Dr. Joaquim Manso
There is another museum at Sítio da Nazaré, which I didn’t have the opportunity to visit because I found it closed on my last visit. It’s the Museum Dr. Joaquim Manso, whose main theme is supposedly Nazaré and its relationship with the sea.
10. Sítio da Nazaré Market and Republic Square
The Museum of Dr. Joaquim Manso is located close to the Republic Square in Sítio da Nazaré, so you can also take the opportunity to visit the market that takes place there, selling fresh fish, fruit and a wide variety of vegetables.
11. Wall of Sítio da Nazaré and Bullring
Also noteworthy is the Wall of Sítio da Nazaré, which, contrary to what I imagined when I saw it for the first time, was built with the aim of protecting the population from the sandstorms that were frequent in the region in the 18th century. In fact, it was unsuccessful, which is why a pine forest was later planted north of Sítio da Nazaré.
The Bullring, in turn, dates back to the end of the 19th century, but the bullfights were already taking place in improvised wooden arenas since the 18th century, specially during the festivities of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré.
12. Handicraft Shops and Rua do Horizonte at Sítio da Nazaré
Next to the promontory of Nazaré, you will also find many handicraft shops, which you can visit to buy souvenirs from your trip or gifts for your friends and family back home. I particularly liked a shop that sells typical wooden boats, located somewhere close to these coordinates. The surrounding viewpoints were also very beautiful, such as those found along Rua do Horizonte.
13. Ladeira Swing and Nazaré Funicular
To access Nazaré beach, you have two options at your disposal:
- The first concerns Nazaré Funicular, which overcomes the large gap created on the promontory. It is an elevator built at the end of the 19th century and inaugurated in 1889, with the aim of facilitating the arrival of pilgrims to the sanctuary. It has a length of 318 meters and a slope of 42%.
- The second concerns Ladeira do Sítio, used to go down or up the promontory on foot. It is steep and during my visit I found the floor slightly slippery, so be careful, especially in periods of rain. Somewhere along the way you will find Ladeira tourist swing.
My recommendation is to be smart and go down on foot, taking the elevator up after visiting what there is to visit down there. Of course you pay to use the funicular, but the cost is relatively symbolic. If you go down Ladeira do Sítio, as I recommend, you will find some urban art also.
Visit the center and beach of Nazaré
Having visited all of Sítio da Nazaré, it’s time to move on to what is around the beach of Nazaré. On the way towards the sea, don’t forget to pass by the theater and by Square Sousa Oliveira, ending at Republic Avenue.
Near the beginning of this avenue, there are two chapels not to be missed, one dedicated to Nossa Senhora dos Aflitos and the other to Santo António. Both have tiles outside. Other major location is Square Dr. Manuel de Arriaga.
1. Theater / Cinema of Nazaré
2. Square Dr. Manuel de Arriaga
3. Chapels of Nossa Senhora dos Aflitos and Santo António

5. Nazaré Beach
Nazaré beach is the ideal place for a swim, so spread your towel on the sand and enjoy it, especially if it’s summer or if it’s hot enough. This is undoubtedly one of the busiest beaches on the entire west coast of Portugal, and it looks incredible! 😉 Here the waves are normal in size and strenght, not giant and dangerous like on the north beach of Nazaré, and you can even find calm sea days here, during summer.
6. Cultural Center of Nazaré
Proceed on foot along the entire coastal avenue of Nazaré, passing by the Cultural Centre, located in the old fish auction building. Close to it there are several monuments and tourist attractions to see and admire, such as the Monument to the Castaways and the Monument in homage to the Nazarene Mothers.
Note that this was the first fish auction in the country to start selling fish by the kilo and not by the unit, operating in the building in question from 1958 to 1987. In the current Cultural Center, I remember having found an Interpretative Museum about the dried fish, but it also promotes other thematic and temporary exhibitions related to Nazaré and its traditions.
7. Nazaré Fish Drying Racks
Speaking of dried fish, you will be impressed, as I was, with the many Fish Drying Racks also next to the Cultural Centre of Nazaré. Not much is known about the origin of this practice of drying fish, but it has long been used as one of the best ways to preserve it. Nazarenes needed to feed their families, and this was an efficient way to preserve food in the past when technology was not available.
As for the drying process, you can find out more details at the Interpretative Museum I mentioned, but basically the fish is left to dry in the sun, open and without guts, and after being washed with water and salt. Drying process can last from 2 to 3 days.
8. Port of Nazaré
Still walking along the avenue of Nazaré beach, I recommend heading to Pontão Norte, to have a view of the entire beach and promontory in the distance. You may proceed to the marina and port of Nazaré next, but this is only optional due to the associated distance.
9. Narrow roads in the Center of Nazaré and Sub-Vila
What remains is the center of Nazaré itself. There are many narrow and picturesque roads there, and with crossroads between them everywhere. You should go explore them, without rushing, and I’m sure you’ll find magnificent spots, just like I did. 😉
Before taking the funicular back to Sítio da Nazaré, or heading to another destination in the municipality, be sure to pass by the Municipal Library, Town Hall, Avenue Vieira Guimarães, Nazaré Municipal Market, and also Rua de Sub-Vila, for example. However, the narrow roads not far from the beach are much more interesting.
10. Municipal Library of Nazaré
11. Municipal Market of Nazaré
Visit Pederneira
The reason for visiting Pederneira is that this was formerly the county seat, before moving to the town of Nazaré. In addition, the views from there are absolutely incredible!
You should pass by the former Town Hall, Pillory of Pederneira, and also by the Mother Church, all located next to Square Bastião Fernandes.
1. Old Town Hall of Pederneira
The old Town Hall of Pederneira functioned as such until 1855. Since then it has been a butcher shop, jail, court and also a school. Today it is a cultural and recreational space.
2. Pillory of Pederneira
The Pillory of Pederneira, in turn, dates back to the time of King D. Manuel, but it was removed and destroyed in 1876. What you find today replacing the original pillory is a fossilized trunk fragment with almost 150 million years, being in my opinion, even more valuable.
3. Mother Church of Pederneira
Next is the Mother Church, associated with the cult of Nossa Senhora das Areias and São Pedro da Pederneira. Construction began in the 16th century.
4. Viewpoint of Pederneira
You should also pass by Pederneira Viewpoint, fabulous for its pergola overlooking the town and beach of Nazaré, from its port to the promontory.
5. Church of Misericórdia in Pederneira
And there is also the Misericórdia Church, built in the 18th century. Inside, the image of Senhor dos Passos stands out, next to the gilded high altar, and also the image of Dead Christ.
Visit the remaining beaches and coast of Nazaré
Nazaré beach is the true ex-libris of the beaches on the West Coast of Portugal, but there are other beaches in the region that, being less crowded, can become authentic paradises of tranquility for excellent holidays by the sea.
- Areeira beach is located north of Nazaré and is one of those examples of peace and quiet. Access is via a dirt road.
- The access to São Gião beach is even worse, being necessary to walk to it. I found it practically deserted, even in the middle of summer. In the surroundings, how about visiting the ruins of the old Church of São Gião, a national monument in Nazaré? It appears to have been discovered in 1961, and is thought to date back to the Visigoth period.
- Salgado Beach has more infrastructure than the previous two, and is located at the foot of Serra de Mangues. You can paraglide from the top of this mountain, have you tried this modality before? 😉
- In the vicinity of Salgado Beach there are also two viewpoints to visit. One of them at these coordinates, near a windmill, and the other at these!
- Near the second viewpoint you can walk to a rocky slope known for its dinosaur footprints. They are more or less here, but they are difficult to identify in reality, so I consider them just optional. You will find better footprints in Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park region, for example.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not take the dirt roads (by car) that separate the beach of São Gião from Salgado Beach, as they are full of sand, where your car may get stuck! Believe me and don't risk it.
1. Areeira Beach
2. Beach of São Gião

More things to do in Nazaré
It remains to mention some things to do in Nazaré, which I consider optional, except the first one, which is the visit to Mount of São Bartolomeu, allowing for extraordinary 360º views.
1. Climb Mount of São Bartolomeu
At the top of Mount of São Bartolomeu you will find a lookout post against forest fires, and even an old chapel. The access is via vertiginous and inclined stairs, so be ready for that! The mountain is 156 meters high.
2. Visit Pedralva Park
Pedralva Park, in turn, has a lake, gardens and playground. It’s more or less on the access road to Pederneira, and the view of Nazaré from there is also outstanding, although the view from Pederneira is much more fascinating.
3. Visit the Pine Forest of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré and its deer
You will find deer behind a fence at the Pine Forest of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré. Like the Surfer Deer found at Sítio da Nazaré, this enclosure once again recalls the miracle associated with the legend I left at the beginning of this article, which has the figure of the devil in the form of a deer. 😀 Here you can observe red deer more or less in the wild. 😉
4. Visit Norpark – Nazaré Water Park
You can also visit Norpark in Nazaré, where you can have fun in the summer, enjoying its swimming pools, slides, jacuzzi, etc. Note that this water park provides transport from Nazaré beach to its facilities, if necessary. See all the information on the official website.

Things to do in Nazaré surroundings
On the outskirts of Nazaré, how about discovering more of the West region of Portugal, along the Portuguese coast?
- How about continuing your holidays visiting São Martinho do Porto with a perfect shell-shaped beach with calm waters? Don’t forget to go up to its awesome viewpoints on the cliffs, standing out the one on the south side, next to chapel of Santa Ana.
- Be sure to visit Alcobaça and its monastery, which is part of the UNESCO heritage in Portugal. Delight yourself with the conventual sweets of Alcobaça, and if you have time, go also to Alfeizerão to taste its fabulous sponge cake.
- Another monastery not to be missed is, of course, that of Batalha, even more extraordinary than the previous one, in my opinion. Check this tour to visit all the monasteries in the region.
- Go north to visit the Castle of Leiria, or south to visit the medieval town of Óbidos. 😉 Check this tour to visit Óbidos and São Martinho do Porto from Nazaré.
- Explore the region around Porto de Mós that is part of the natural park of Serras de Aire e Candeeiros. It has unique limestone caves to discover there!
These are just a few tips, there are so many more things to do in Nazaré surrounding area! Have a nice trip and check the other itineraries and guides below related with visiting Portugal! 😉
