Beach

Nazaré is considered the most typical Portuguese beach, famous for its narrow sinuous streets where street sellers echo, and yet the seven skirts of Nazarene women can be found, still with original costumes as before.
Throughout the twentieth century, Nazaré has progressed from a fishing village to a town dedicated to tourism, being one of the first points of international tourist interest in Portugal.
Today, talk of Nazareé also means talking about the surf because it was on the beach that North Garret McNamara reached the world record for the largest wave ever ridden in 2013 with 30 meters.
