Nazaré
Nazaré is the most typical fisherman’s village in Portugal. It manages to keep many of its traditional activities both as an identity statement and a touristic magnet. Either way, it’s rooted in the community and feels authentic. The shell-shaped bay beach front is admirable and protected by a 318m cliff, where the view is superb.
The already internationally well-known village was launched into stardom by American professional big wave surfer Garrett ‘GMAC’ McNamara. In November 2011 he caught a 24 m (78-foot) wave at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, entering the Guinness Book of Records. Since then, Nazaré has become a cult location for big wave surfers and surf lovers from everywhere in the world.
