Best Beaches in Leiria District

The Leiria District coastline offers a diverse range of Atlantic environments, from the record-breaking big waves of Nazaré’s Praia do Norte to the calm, shell-shaped bay of São Martinho do Porto. This stretch of the Silver Coast features the unique Óbidos Lagoon at Foz do Arelho, the 50-meter-high sand dunes of Salir do Porto, and the world-class tubular surfing waves at Supertubos. Many locations, such as Praia da Vieira, maintain traditional fishing heritage, while others like Osso da Baleia are defined by protected dune systems and extensive wooden walkways.
