Nazaré, a former fishing village nestled in a cove about an hour and a half north of Lisbon, is renowned for its colossal waves, attracting surfers from around the globe. The town’s golden, crescent-shaped beach is lined with a promenade dotted with restaurants, while white-washed houses with red roofs add to the charm. Visitors can stroll along the lively waterfront, savor local cuisine, and soak in the authentic Portuguese seaside atmosphere.
