Why is it called the Silver Coast?

Over the last week I have been asked by 3 different clients where the Silver Coast got it's name.

There are many theories, the beautiful white sand at Foz de Arelho, the white cliffs of
Nazare, the deep blue waters of Sao Martinho do Porto or Lourinha, or the World heritage sites of Fatima and Obidos.

The real reason is one that I love and one that I have been fortunate enough to experience. When enjoying one of the glorious beaches on the Silver Coast, at just the right time, the setting sun reflects off the water and gives off the most amazing glow, it illuminates a breath taking silver light.This is one of the things that makes the Silver Coast so unique, so beautiful and a place that more and more people are falling in love with.


Come and see the glow, this is the Silver Coast.
