Nazaré has captured global attention due to its immense giant waves at Praia do Norte, formed by an underwater geological fault called the 'Nazaré Canyon'. Chasers of world records gather here every winter to surf the largest waves ever recorded by humanity.
Beyond extreme surfing, Nazaré keeps its historic fisherman traditions alive. Along the shore, you will meet the iconic women wearing 'seven skirts' who watch over codfish and sardines drying under the Atlantic sun.
A private day-trip with ROUTES ensures you comfortably reach the historic Sítio cliffs, visit the fort museum, and enjoy the freshest local seafood by the bay with no parking hassles.
