What To Expect

Marina da Nazaré (Pass By)

Modern marina situated at the southern end of Nazaré's protected harbor, uniquely designed to be accessible in any weather conditions—rare for Portuguese Atlantic ports. Accommodating 52 vessels up to 25 meters with 4-meter maximum draft, it offers excellent shelter between golden sand beaches. The marina features comprehensive facilities including an 80-tonne travel lift, repair services, fuel station, fresh water, WiFi, and boat supplies. Its strategic location provides easy access to both the traditional fishing port with colorful regional costumes and the world-famous giant wave viewing areas. Connected to the historic fishing heritage, visitors can explore sun-dried fish racks on nearby beaches and witness authentic Portuguese maritime traditions. The protected inner basin ensures safe mooring while maintaining proximity to Nazaré's cultural attractions, restaurants, and the funicular railway to Sítio's panoramic clifftop views.

Praia da Gralha

Secluded 1-kilometer golden sand beach nestled between dramatic cliffs of Serra dos Mangues, near São Martinho do Porto. This wild, pristine stretch offers spectacular tranquility but features notoriously rough, dangerous Atlantic waters unsuitable for swimming. The isolated location rarely sees crowds, making it perfect for solitude seekers. High clifftops serve as popular paragliding launch sites, while rocky formations at the cliff base create unique wildlife habitats. Steep access path leads to this untouched paradise with no amenities—just raw natural beauty. Sometimes used by naturists, the beach attracts sport fishermen and photographers drawn to its dramatic contrasts of golden sand, brown cliffs, and turbulent blue seas. Despite challenging conditions, Praia da Gralha represents the perfect definition of wild Portuguese coastline—a place where nature reigns supreme over human intervention.

Praia de São Martinho do Porto

Portugal's most unique beach features a perfect scallop-shaped bay with 3 kilometers of fine white sand and incredibly calm waters. Known as "Praia das Crianças" (Children's Beach), this natural lagoon connects to the Atlantic through a narrow opening, creating mirror-like conditions ideal for families and water sports. King D. Carlos declared it one of the world's most beautiful places, attracting Portuguese aristocracy who built Belle Époque villas along the waterfront. The sheltered bay offers perfect conditions for sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking, while beachfront cafés and restaurants provide traditional Portuguese cuisine with stunning panoramic views. This former monastic port of Alcobaça monastery transforms from tranquil winter retreat to vibrant summer resort, maintaining its reputation as Portugal's safest and most welcoming family beach destination.

Capela de Santa Ana (séc. XII)

Portugal's oldest religious building in Caldas da Rainha municipality, this 12th-century chapel crowns the dramatic promontory guarding São Martinho do Porto's bay entrance. Built possibly by Crusaders devoted to Saint Anne, it served as a sacred farewell point where fishing families blessed departing boats and prayed for safe returns. For centuries, processions wound from Salir do Porto village to this remote clifftop sanctuary until the early 1900s. After decades in ruins, the chapel was lovingly restored in 2020, reviving ancient traditions and spectacular panoramic views over the shell-shaped bay and wild Atlantic coastline. The challenging uphill dirt track from behind Salir do Porto's swimming pool leads to this spiritual sanctuary, where legends whisper of crusader devotion and maritime prayers. A place of profound beauty where faith, history, and stunning ocean vistas converge in timeless harmony.

Túnel para o Atlântico

Dramatic pedestrian tunnel carved through São Martinho do Porto's northern headland in 1948, offering one of Portugal's most striking natural contrasts. This narrow passage connects the tranquil shell-shaped bay to the wild Atlantic Ocean, creating a sublime sensory experience. Walking through reveals opposing worlds: calm turquoise waters and golden sand beaches on the bay side, versus powerful Atlantic waves crashing violently against moss-covered rocks. The tunnel's "mouths" frame these contrasting seascapes perfectly, making it a favorite photography spot. Originally built for sewage diversion, winter storms can fill the Atlantic side with large rocks thrown by enormous waves. The slippery conditions require caution, but the dramatic juxtaposition between Portugal's gentlest family beach and raw ocean power makes this short walk unforgettable—a perfect metaphor for nature's dual personality.
