We are going to be traveling between the Silver Coast and Porto in early July. Is it worth spending time in Nazare? I know the epic waves are in December and I believe it's just a regular beach in summer. Should we spend time there? We have about a month to do Portugal (inc. the Azores)

Nazaré is a typical beach town. If you like beach towns, then you’d probably enjoy Nazaré. We spent two nights (1.5 days) there in October 2023 and that was sufficient. Even in October it was crowded with cars and people. Depending on how long you linger, the upper town can be seen in 2-3 hours. The lower town has the beach, shops, and restaurants. Not being beach people, we just walked along it. We had a rental car.
