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.
