Nazaré: The Portuguese Fishing Village That Became a Surfing Mecca

Nazaré, Portugal, is known for two things: its deep fishing traditions and the world’s biggest waves. But how did this small coastal town go from a quiet fishing village to the global capital of big-wave surfing? In this video, we explore the incredible history of Nazaré-from its legendary miracle that saved a knight in 1182 to Garrett McNamara’s record-breaking wave that put Nazaré on the map. Along the way, we meet the locals, uncover the science behind the monster waves, and see why this place is so much more than just a surfing hotspot. Join "Nick and Nick" as we dive deep into the magic of Nazaré!

2:11 - Did you say that Abrantes is in Alentejo? 🤔

[@AlgarveAddicts]

I didn't... I said Abrantes was "on the Tejo".

[@module79l28]

@@AlgarveAddicts - Ah, ok. I couldn't hear it clearly due to your thick SA accent, that's why I asked.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

Portalegre district is part of Alentejo region, not of Central Portugal.

I stayed in Nazaré for two nights in an Airbnb in the little tiny streets in the old town, back in 2023. Lovely spot but a real rabbit warren - I got lost walking 100m (as the crow flies) to a little mini market!

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Heheh, really? But it looks like a grid from above...

[@bigalxyz]

@ well…thinking about it…alcohol may have been involved… 😬

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Heheheh, I love it! 😂
