Why the Silver Coast Should Be on Your Must-Visit List

If you’ve never explored Portugal’s Silver Coast, you’re missing the country’s real coastal treasure. Forget the overcrowded Algarve. The Silver Coast is where Portugal still feels genuine — relaxed towns, incredible food, and coastline that looks untouched. It’s also exactly why our guests at Dino Property keep coming back.

The Coastline Everyone Talks About (After They’ve Seen It)

The Silver Coast is raw Atlantic beauty.
Miles of clean beaches, dunes shaped by the wind, hidden coves, and surf you can hear before you see it. Places like Peniche, Areia Branca, Baleal, and Nazaré have that perfect balance of energy and calm. No concrete all-inclusive resorts. Just the coast as it should be.

Stay with Dino Property and you’re right in the middle of it — close enough to reach the beaches in minutes, far enough to enjoy real peace and quiet.

Better Value, Better Experience

Here’s the simple truth: your money goes further on the Silver Coast.
Restaurants are family-run, accommodation is well-priced, and the region hasn’t been overrun by package tourism. That means higher quality for less money… and a far more authentic holiday.

For property owners, this is exactly why the area’s holiday-let market is growing fast. Guests get more for their budget, and well-managed homes perform exceptionally well all year round.

A Base Packed with Culture and Charm

Within 20–40 minutes of our properties, you’ve got:

  • The medieval walled town of Óbidos

  • The monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha

  • The iconic cliffs and lighthouse of Nazaré

  • The calm waters of the Óbidos Lagoon

It’s a dream for anyone who actually wants to explore, not just sunbathe.

Made for the Outdoors

Surfing lessons, coastal hikes, paddleboarding, fishing, markets, cycle routes — if you like being outside, this region is unbeatable. Even in summer, the Atlantic breeze keeps the temperature comfortable.

Our properties make it easy: secure parking, outdoor spaces, and local guides to help you find the best spots.

A Food Scene Worth Travelling For

Fresh fish on the grill, seafood rice, pastel de feijão, the local Ginja served in chocolate cups — it’s the kind of food you remember long after the flight home. And because this isn’t a resort area, you eat proper Portuguese cooking at proper Portuguese prices.

We’re always happy to point guests to the best local restaurants — no tourist traps.

Perfect for a Relaxed, Real Holiday

Whether you’re a family, a couple getting away from it all, or someone who wants a quiet base to work remotely, the Silver Coast hits the sweet spot. Beautiful, affordable, safe, endlessly interesting — and still one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets.

We choose our locations carefully, we design spaces for comfort and ease, and we support guests from booking to checkout. If you're looking for a holiday that feels grounded, refreshing, and a world away from overcrowded resorts, the Silver Coast is the place — and Dino Property is the ideal base.
