First, let’s talk accommodation. Portugal offers a range of options, from budget-friendly hostels to fully equipped homes for digital nomads or long-term surfers. For those looking to stay longer and live locally, a flat in Nazaré is ideal. Not only is this seaside town known for its jaw-dropping waves at Praia do Norte, but it also captures the perfect blend of affordability and proximity to activities. Pick a place that offers essentials like high-speed WiFi, a well-equipped kitchen, and easy beach access—it ensures comfort without the constant expense of eating out and keeps you connected if you’re working remotely.

When it comes to food, local markets are your best friend. Portugal’s fresh produce, seafood, and bread are deliciously inexpensive. Stock up at Nazaré’s Mercado Municipal instead of dining out every meal. A home-cooked feast of grilled sardines with crusty bread and a bottle of Portuguese wine won’t just save you money—it’ll give you an authentic taste of Portugal. Plus, cooking at home gives you the flexibility to prioritize surf time over expensive restaurant outings.

Transportation can also be a major cost if not managed carefully. In Nazaré, you can save by staying within walking distance of the beach, lighthouse, and local amenities—no need for a rental car. Buses and trains are affordable options for exploring nearby surf spots or cities. If your budget allows, renting a bike is another eco-friendly way to get around while soaking in the town’s picturesque views.

As for surf equipment, bring your own gear if possible to avoid rental fees, which can add up quickly. If you’re new to the sport or traveling light, Nazaré has plenty of surf shops and schools offering competitive rates for boards and wetsuits. Be sure to shop around and inquire about discounts for extended rentals or seasonal promotions. For longer stays, purchasing second-hand gear could be more cost-effective than renting.

Lastly, don’t overlook the cost of health insurance. Surfing is thrilling but comes with its risks, especially in a place like Nazaré known for its towering waves. Look into international health plans or traveler insurance for surfers to ensure you’re protected without paying extra fees for medical emergencies. Peace of mind should always be part of your budget.
