Located in the ancient fishing village of Sítio, next to the North Canyon, this new apartment in Nazaré for sale is an opportunity to buy a home in a sea-facing community, with traditions that trace back to Roman occupation on the Silver Coast of Portugal.
Sítio da Nazaré is the location of the iconic picture of Garrett McNamara, the American professional big wave surfer, breaking the World Record for the biggest wave ever surfed and featured in the blockbuster HBO documentary series, “100 Foot Wave”.
The apartment is inside Sítio’s ancient “muralha”, a stone wall that has protected the local fishing community and pilgrims for millennia. Considered Portugal’s oldest fishing village, the warm and friendly locals are always happy to share the ancient traditions of Nazaré.

This fabulous property for sale in Nazaré is within the “muralha”, in the heart of this ancient village, where life is typically Portuguese. Cobbled streets with the locals bidding you a “bom dia”, the community washing through to wash their sheets and share some gossip, the pilgrims who visit the sanctuary and the modern-day surf pilgrims who come to visit the “home” of the 100-foot wave… In true Portuguese tradition, the village square is where the community meets, with restaurants preparing the fresh catch of the day, cafés with amazing pastries, quaint little shops and the colourful “lupins” and “pevides” sellers, dressed in the traditional seven skirts costume of the Nazarene women.
Sítio is also the location of the Lighthouse and Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo, the best lookout point to watch the big wave surfers of Praia do Norte. Between October and March, international surfers and thousands of surf pilgrims visit Nazaré to witness the power of the North Canyon’s giant waves. The same location of the American hit HBO series, 100 Foot Wave, directed by Chris Smith and premiered in July 2021. The documentary tells the story of how big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara travelled to Nazaré to conquer the world’s biggest waves.
Property investors are attracted to Sítio da Nazaré for its unique oceanfront location, with limited accommodation that attracts high rental demand from both the summer holidaymakers and the big wave surfers and fans that visit in the winter.
Sítio residents have easy access to the best things of living in Nazaré. The funicular (tram known as “ascensor”) transports locals between the two villages, connecting Sítio to the amazing Nazaré beach, banks, supermarkets, boutiques, restaurants and a daily farmers’/fish market selling the freshest local produce.
Besides Nazaré and Praia do Norte, a few minutes away there are many other beautiful Silver Coast beaches offering wide stretches of sand, breathtaking scenery and plenty of opportunities to practice water sports or enjoy hikes surrounded by nature.
Sítio is a place you can call home, protected by the ancient “muralha”, a perfect location to live in Portugal or as a second home or holiday home offering excellent rental yield for holiday home rentals.
