Nazare beach – Praia de Nazaré


We arrived in Nazaré without knowing what to expect or what there was to see in town. We had heard of the famous Nazaré beach, so that was the first place we went to. We parked the car at one of the little streets leading towards the sea thinking that we’d probably be back in no time as the village didn’t look like a tourist highlight at first sight. We ended up spending the whole afternoon in Nazare and it was dark by the time we returned. It turns out Nazare has a lot more to offer than it looks at first sight, but of course the beach is not to be missed.
We walked on a nice seaside promenade in the direction of a little harbour (Porto), but we never even got there. I read in the book that Porto of Nazaré is a nice lively place to visit in the morning when the fishermen come back from sea, but since we arrived in Nazaré in the afternoon, it looked really quiet from afar, so we decided to skip it.
Our kids saw wooden boats on the beach and set to explore – they afterwards said that it was the best playground ever.
