Coastal Gems & Beaches

The Silver Coast offers a diverse shoreline, from the massive surf of Nazaré to the calm, shell-shaped bay of São Martinho do Porto. This stretch of the Atlantic features the highest sand dune in Portugal at Salir do Porto and the dramatic, multi-colored clay cliffs of Vale Furado. Many of these beaches are bordered by the historic Pine Forest of Leiria, providing a mix of wide sandy expanses, secluded naturist spots, and rugged coastal terrain.
