By The Sea Nazaré is a boutique guesthouse on Rua Sub-Vila in the older, quieter section of Nazaré, a short walk from both the town's fishing harbor and the main beach in this Centro region surf destination. The property occupies a converted townhouse with a small, personal scale rather than a large hotel footprint, giving it a relaxed, homely feel favored by surfers and independent travelers. Rooms come as Double or Sea View configurations, each with air conditioning and free wifi, and breakfast is included and served on the property's terrace with views toward the ocean. Surf storage is available for guests visiting to watch or ride the region's famous big waves, and there is no restaurant beyond breakfast, no pool, and no spa, keeping the guesthouse focused on simplicity and location. The atmosphere is informal, and the small size means guests often interact directly with the owners rather than a large front-desk staff, suiting travelers who prefer a personal touch over hotel-scale service.
