We took an anchorage here for the night even though it was only about 30 nm from the marina in Nazare so we could make the next days passage to the Lisbon are (Cascais Marina) shorter. This was not one of our favorite anchorages as the fishing boats were coming and going all night long and their wake rocked us pretty good. However, it served the purpose and helped us have a shorter passage the next day.
The coast of Portugal is not known for a lot of places to anchor and the marinas that are big enough to handle yachts even of our length (18 meter) are few and far between.
