Possibly the most famous fishing town in Portugal, Nazaré is unique in many ways. It doesn’t contain the architectural treasures or grandiose monuments prevalent in other Portuguese towns, but it has an atmosphere of times gone by, contentment and traditions which continue to thrive, which make it a special place to visit.
The Big Waves season in Nazare is between October and March (winter season in Portugal, but September and April also work in some years). So that is the best time to see the Nazare big waves up to 30 meters high.
Many surfers from all over the world say these are the best and the highest waves of the world.
