Praia da Nazare, Nazare

Amazing place to relax and enjoy a stupendous beach scene with natural beauty that's indescribable. Swim area is away from rip currents so follow markings to stay safe. Includes sand soccer fields and volleyball courts to enjoy open to public and a full beach sports stadium with European pro events/tournaments held there in the summer. Can surf or learn to surf if you're a beginner in the gentle summer waves or challenge yourself in the winter for the big ones. Either way can relax away an entire day with good food all along the street opposite the sand. Festive fun vacation atmosphere here. Enjoy!!!

My favorite beach in Portugal. Authentic, beautiful, and full of charm. The sun is strong and full. Be sure to rent a cabana to get out of the sun if needed. Strong undercurrent, so careful with the little ones. The night life is busy and worth the walk through the streets. Spend the day at the beach, shopping, cold shower, dinner and drinks, and walk the lively streets. The night clubs really bring things to life. Most don’t go to bed before 4:00am.

We only stopped by on our way from Lisboa to Porto, but the beach was wonderful! Seems like a pleasant tourist resort with beautiful promenade. However the ocean this much north is pretty cold.

Nice beach. Lots of Tourists. Do a walking tour so you get to know the history of the town...its interesting. The surf museum is cool.

Too crowded for my taste (end of July 2019). Loud Music at the Beach until 2 am or 3 am every night. Beautiful setting, though. Ocean swimming nice but very crowded too. A couple of good restaurants here.
