Nazaré, a present-day town, used to be a charming fishing village in Portugal. Known for the world’s biggest waves, the town has become a major attraction for water sports and surfing aficionados. Located about 121 kilometres (75 miles) from the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, it is a beach lover’s paradise. Despite its popularity as a holiday destination, the city has managed to retain a lot of its old-world charm and distinctive character. There are plenty of things to see and do apart from surfing. Some popular attractions include the historic Sítio district and the 17th-century Fort de São Miguel Arcanjo. If you are planning to go surfing in the sea in this charming town, you must secure comfortable accommodation near the beach. Read on to find out about the best places to surf and stay in Nazaré, Portugal.
