Farol de Nazare, Nazare

This place was really amazing!! We were, most unfortunately, not there when the waves were big, but I would come back again to see them. The whole stretch of town along the cliff was breathtaking! There was a great little shop right near the top of the funicular where a fella was hand crafting traditional fishing boats. They were beautiful!! The information on how the giant waves form and the surfers that ride them was very interesting! The beach to the north of the lighthouse was very cool. You could see the striations in the sand of where different heights of waves wash up to. Very, very cool!! Well worth going out of your way to see!

Beautiful breathtaking landscape. Plenty to see and do. Lots of little shops. Super family friendly. Watch the 40’-50’ waves crash to your right and the beautiful waves ahead right from the beach, the walking paths, waterfront restaurants and cafés. Take the funicular to the top to see the Nazaré Canyon and surf exhibitions! Absolutely stunning!
