Is coverage reliable across the Silver Coast towns?

Yes. Nazaré, Óbidos, Peniche, Caldas da Rainha and Figueira da Foz all have strong 4G and 5G. Signal only really thins on the boat out to the Berlengas islands and on quieter stretches of dune coast.

Can I use one eSIM for the Silver Coast and Lisbon?

Yes. It's one Portugal plan, so the same eSIM covers your Lisbon arrival and every Silver Coast town. Coverage is strong throughout, making it easy to combine the capital with a coastal road trip.

Good to know in Silver Coast

If you're chasing Nazaré's giant waves, timing is everything, as the biggest swells hit between October and March. Keep live data for surf forecasts and the Praia do Norte webcam, and check tow-in session times before heading to the lighthouse viewpoint.

Best time to visit Silver Coast

May to September brings warm beach days and calmer seas; autumn and winter draw big-wave surfers to Nazaré when the giant Atlantic swells arrive.

Silver Coast eSIM: your local data guide.

The Silver Coast, or Costa de Prata, runs north of Lisbon past the record-breaking waves of Nazaré, the walled village of Óbidos, the surf breaks of Peniche and the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha. A Silver Coast eSIM keeps your surf forecasts, maps and beach-town bookings live along this string of Atlantic towns.

One eSIM for Silver Coast and all of Portugal. It's the national Portugal eSIM — from $2.15/day with unlimited data, working the same in Silver Coast as it does the moment you leave it.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Silver Coast.

Nazaré

In Nazaré you'll get reliable 4G and 5G for checking the swell at Praia do Norte and riding the funicular to Sítio.

Óbidos

Inside Óbidos's walls, coverage is solid for wandering the lanes and booking a stay in the medieval centre.

Peniche & Berlengas

Around Peniche the signal is good, but it thins on the boat out to the Berlengas islands nature reserve.

Figueira da Foz

Up the coast at Figueira da Foz, data holds up well along the promenade and wide surf beaches.

Coverage in Silver Coast
