Nazaré, in Portugal, is considered a paradise for surfers, especially those looking for giant waves. Its fame is mainly due to Praia do Norte (North Beach), where the most impressive waves in the world occur.
:: The phenomenon of giant waves ::
The giant waves of Nazaré are created by an underwater canyon, the Nazaré Canyon, the largest in Europe, almost 5 km deep and about 227 km long. This underwater structure channels and amplifies the swell, generating colossal waves that have become a global icon of big wave surfing.
:: Praia do Norte (North Beach) ::
World-renowned destination: It was Praia do Norte that made Nazaré a world-renowned destination for surfing, after events such as the Big Wave Challenge were held in its waters.
