Explore Nazaré

Nazaré is a picturesque coastal town located in the Estremadura region, on the Silver Coast (Costa da Prata) of central Portugal. It is world-famous for two main reasons: Giant Waves and Extreme Surfing Nazaré is renowned for its Praia do Norte, where some of the world’s largest waves are formed—a true paradise for big-wave surfers. The Nazaré Canyon: The reason behind this phenomenon is a massive underwater canyon (the largest in Europe) that channels and amplifies the power of the ocean swells, creating waves that can exceed 30 meters in height. Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo: The lighthouse situated on the headland is the ideal vantage point to admire the waves (especially during the winter season, between October and March) and hosts exhibitions dedicated to extreme surfing.

Tradition and Culture of a Fishing Village Despite its international fame linked to surfing, Nazaré retains the charm of an ancient fishing village. The ‘Nazarenas’: You will often see local women (the Nazarenas) wearing traditional dress with the characteristic seven skirts, a tradition tied to the days spent waiting for their fisherman husbands to return. Dried Fish: Along the promenade of Praia da Nazaré, it is common to see fish laid out to dry on traditional racks. The Town’s Layout: The locality is divided into three main areas:
Praia: The lower, modern part along the beach, filled with restaurants, bars, and accommodation.
Sítio: The old village situated on the headland, reachable by a funicular. It is home to the famous Santuário de Nossa Senhora da Nazaré and the viewpoint (Miradouro do Sítio).
Pederneira: Another ancient neighborhood located on a hill.
In summary, Nazaré offers a fascinating mix of centuries-old maritime traditions, a wide sandy beach ideal for families (on Praia da Nazaré, which is more sheltered), and the thrill of the world’s most extreme ocean waves at Praia do Norte.

Buying a home in Nazaré (Portugal) is a choice that today combines the charm of an ancient fishing village with a rapidly growing real estate market, driven primarily by extreme surfing tourism and the overall quality of life.
Although prices are on the rise, Nazaré remains far more accessible compared to the ultra-tourist areas of the south (Algarve) or the capital.
Nazaré is no longer just a summer destination. Thanks to the giant waves phenomenon at Praia do Norte, the town enjoys an extended tourist season running from October to March (surfing season), ensuring high demand for short- and medium-term rentals almost year-round.
If, on the other hand, you decide to settle here or use the property for private use, the town is ideal for a quiet and relaxed lifestyle in one of the most distinctive areas of the Silver Coast, thanks also to a climate that is never excessively cold.
