Vale Furado

Located between Nazaré and Alcobaça, Vale Furado beach continues to be one of the best-kept secrets of the west coast. Perfectly embraced by the cliffs, this natural paradise surely deserves a visit.

Vale Furado is the ideal spot for nature lovers and travellers in search for peace of mind and silence. This beach offers beach-goers quite unique experiences, such as a freshwater waterfall, sculpted by erosion. A perfect match between the sea and the river, much appreciated by children.

The Atlantic Road cycling path crosses Vale Furado. The track starts in Osso da Baleia beach, in the north, and ends in Salir do Porto, near São Martinho do Porto beach. The view from Vale Furado belvedere is absolutely jaw-dropping. The perfect window over a breath-taking natural landscape.

While in Vale Furado, don't miss the chance to taste the unique flavours of MAD restaurant, owned by the Slovakian Slavo Husar who left Slovakia in 2010 to work in the west coast region. This creative Chef offers a fusion gastronomy based on the most exquisite ingredients. Spicy butter, dynamite seafood or Bulgarian aubergine are true must-taste specialities, as well as eatable flowers. His father worked with flowers in the old Czechoslovakia and Slavo inherited the passion for flowers.
