Adventure Tips
Wear sturdy shoes for uneven terrain
The Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo and cliffside paths have rocky, irregular surfaces—good footwear enhances safety.
Bring a windproof jacket
Atlantic breezes at the coast can be strong and sudden; having a windproof layer keeps you comfortable during outdoor stops.
Best wave views come with tide timing
Visit during high tide and winter months for the biggest waves, but check local surf forecasts before booking.
Respect local fishing practices
Nazaré’s fishing community is active—keep a respectful distance from boats and nets, and ask before photographing locals.
