Nazare

It is from this sea that the fishermen arrive with nets laden with fish and shellfish that are directly forwarded to the local restaurants and squares. It is, therefore, the ideal place to savor the quality and texture of a seafood and fresh fish meal. Once lunch is over and the energy is restored, it is time to visit the famous Praia do Norte, which became the icon of this town after McNamara surfed, in 2011, the largest wave in the world, with about 30 meters high. Currently, the "Canhões of Nazaré" and its beaches host the world giant wave championship, the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge.
