World’s biggest waves! And more
Surfer or not, everyone has heard about Nazaré’s huge waves. But there’s more to it. The town is about 130km north of Lisbon – please ask us first if you want us to deliver some boards there.

Praia do Norte is the peak for waves not meant to be messed around with; in Praia da Nazaré, next to the central promenade, you can surf fast and heavy waves; and Praia do Sul has tubular and fast waves on big swells.
Despite the big wave frenzy, Nazaré – the town – remains a picturesque fisherman village proud of its traditions – like fishmongers wearing seven skirts! So, expect more from it than “just” big waves. And for God’s sake, don´t you dare to miss a fish meal in one of the many awesome restaurants!
