I was there in October 2019. This is where the biggest waves in the world break but a little further out. Even though I didn`t see the huge waves, I loved the beach, the fact that I was in Nazare, and would have loved to stay in Nazare and spend some time here. I would love to see the huge waves that break here and photograph them but it was awesome just being here. The best place to watch them is next to the lighthouse on the north side.

Whether watching from the clifftop or at sea level, the grandeur and sheer power of these waves, some of the highest ever surfed in the world, is undeniable. They peak in November-December, when surfers from all over the world descend to try to break the world record.

This looks beautiful even from the clifftop. The waves were spectacular crashing on the beach in a flurry of foam even though the sea was not very rough. Lots of spray flying in the air and mini rainbows can be seen just before the waves break.

...but a great beach with decent surf and few people the rest of the year. Definitely worth a visit.

Best views are obtained from the Nazaré Lighthouse. This is a beautiful beach but I would not recommend you get in it unless you are an experienced swimmer!
Las mejores vistas se obtienen desde el faro de Nazaré. Es una playa hermosa pero no recomendaría nadar en ella a menos que tengas experiencia nadando!

What a beautiful beach!
We visited in August so we did not see the big waves but what we did see was just lovely.
The water is crystal clear and the beach sandy is light and fluffy.
Will visit again!

We parked at the top where the sign is and it was quite a long walk to the beach. We passed the statue and just kept walking. There weren't any huge waves when we were there (season) but it is a beautiful beach.

The shoreline of Nazare is sort of in three sections. There's the tourist beach south of the fortress, the area around the fortress where the huge waves roll in, and the north beach or Praia do Norte. The north beach seems like the perfect place for a surfing fanatic to pitch a tent. For the rest of us, I don't think it offers much that cannot be enjoyed on the primary city beach.

In che modo si può raggiungere il faro dal centro città bassa....arrivando in autobus...ci sono navette? O bisogna farla tutta a piedi dalla funicolare?! Grazie
Written October 21, 2021
Purtroppo non ci sono mezzi pubblici (non ho visto neanche navette) perciò bisogna prendere la funicolare più 1 km a piedi. Altrimenti taxi..

Olá, sou brasileiro, e quero surfar as ondas gigantes com minha prancha de bodyboard, é obrigatório alugar equipe de resgate? Caso sim,qual o valor? Com quem devo entrar em contato? Como sao as ondas em maio? Ou só de outubro a abril as ondas passam de 10 metros ????

Que época del año es mejor para ver olas gigantes?
Muchas gracias.
Written August 29, 2019
Todo el año. Son una maravilla y no desmerece ninguna época del año. Sí quieres hacer una excursión en barco o en Zodiac si que hay que mirar el tiempo. Nosotros fuimos en octubre y ese año hizo mucho calor e hicimos una excursión en Zodiac recorriendo los gigantes por sus cuevas, además vimos delfines

Hola que tan grandes son las olas a principios de junio? Es buena fecha para ir?
Written January 25, 2019
le swell estive sono rara,mnte paragonabili a quelle invernali o primaverili.. se c'è una perturbazione magari vedi un pò di mare ma dubito a memoria che in agosto siano usciti a prendere qualcosa .. cmq una visita merita in qualsiasi stagione...

Ciao, quindi il posto migliore per fare foto e vedere le mega onde è li dal faro? Quello che è sempre visibile nelle foto in rete? é nel mezzo, a sinistra nazarè e a destra praia do norte, giusto?
Written May 14, 2018
Esattamente, il faro è sicuramente il posto migliore da cui godere dello spettacolo delle onde.

1.Сергей, до Назаре мы ехали из Порту на междугородних автобусах фирмы RedeExpressos (сайт можно посетить, там и маршруты и билеты).
Если берете автомобиль -то тоже вариант. тем более что вблизи Назаре много интересных городков.
2.а насчет волн гигантские волны -ноябрь- декабрь, сведения из интернета и из музея Назаре, посвященному серферам.Вот пожалуй и всё)
