Dog-Friendly Attractions in Nazaré, Landmarks Your Dog Can Visit

17th-century coastal fort restored as the lighthouse that watches over Praia do Norte, the world-record big-wave break. The outer parade ground, ramparts and surfboard memorial wall are freely accessible; the small interior museum charges €2 and stays off-limits to dogs.

Pilgrimage church in the heart of the Sítio, baroque facade and tiled square that the whole town crosses on the September feast of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré. The square and tiled benches are openly dog-friendly; the church interior, like every active Portuguese parish church, is off-limits to dogs.

Original medieval Nazaré on a hilltop 2 km inland, predating the move down to the beach. Whitewashed lanes, the 14th-century Misericórdia church, two miradouros over Praia da Nazaré and the most authentic 7-saias costume-tradition households in the municipality.
