The local experience
Wide, shell-shaped beach beside the village, with light sand, colorful fishing boats and drying nets where fish are dried in the sun, overlooked by the Sítio neighborhood atop the cliff.
Neighborhood high on the cliff, about 110 meters above the sea, with the Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, the small Ermida da Memória and the Miradouro do Suberco, from where you can see the entire beach.
16th‑century fort at the tip of the promontory, with the Nazaré lighthouse. It’s the best spot to view the giant waves at Praia do Norte and houses an exhibition about big‑wave surfing.
