Giant Waves: Nazaré attracts surfers from all over the world, especially in Praia do Norte, where some of the biggest waves on the planet form. Thanks to the Nazaré Canyon, an underwater geological fault that amplifies the size of the waves, some of the biggest waves ever surfed were recorded, including the record 30 meter wave surfed by Garrett McNamara in 2011.

Sítio da Nazaré: It is one of the most historic and emblematic areas of the city, located on top of a cliff. It offers a spectacular panoramic view of the coast and is accessible via the famous Nazaré Elevator. The site also houses the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, a place of religious pilgrimage.

• Beaches: In addition to Praia do Norte, Praia da Nazaré is calmer and more traditional, very popular with tourists and residents, with a vast sandy beach and excellent conditions for swimming in the sea.

• Traditions and Culture: Nazaré preserves many maritime traditions. The women of Nazareth are known for their typical costume, made up of seven skirts, which symbolize the seven waves of the sea. The city has a strong fishing culture, with colorful fishing boats and fish still dried in the sun on stakes along the beach.

• Gastronomy: Nazaré is also known for its rich gastronomy based on fish and seafood. Typical dishes include seafood stew and rice, as well as octopus and fresh sardines.
