The Silver
Coast

Five distinct destinations along 100km of Atlantic coastline — from medieval Óbidos to the surf at Nazaré and the sheltered bay of São Martinho. The most underrated coast in Portugal.

About this region

Portugal's most
underrated coastline.

The Silver Coast stretches north from Peniche along a hundred kilometres of Atlantic-facing cliffs, surf beaches, golf courses, medieval villages and sheltered bays. Less hyped than the Algarve, more authentic than Cascais, and significantly better value. Five distinct destinations — each with its own character, audience and appeal.
