The Miradouro do Suberco is the best-known viewpoint in Nazaré — a balcony on the edge of the Sítio clifftop, looking straight down over the town and the sea.
The viewpoint sits right at the rim of the promontory, beside the upper station of the funicular. From its railing, the whole of Nazaré opens up below: the curve of the main beach, the grid of white houses, the seafront, and the Atlantic stretching to the horizon. It is the classic photograph of the town, and one of the most photographed views on this stretch of coast.
The Suberco is a natural first stop on arriving in Sítio, whether by funicular or by road, and it is freely open at all times. From here, visitors take in the lie of the town before walking on to the sanctuary, or continuing towards the fort and the big-wave coast. For a single, memorable image of Nazaré, this is the place.
