Praia do Norte

★★★

Sunset

Location: Nazaré Sítio area

Open in Google Maps

Getting there: 15 min walk from Forte de São Miguel

Best time: Oct–Mar for giant waves at dawn. Sunset year-round — wild, empty and no crowds

Getting there: Walk north from the fort along the cliff or take a taxi from the lower town

Pro tip: Guinness record waves reach 30m+ here in winter. In summer it's deserted and raw — two completely different beaches
