About this beach
Praia do Norte, in Nazaré, is world-famous for hosting the biggest waves ever surfed, generated by the colossal underwater Nazaré Canyon. Overlooked by the São Miguel Arcanjo Fort and its lighthouse — the iconic big-wave viewpoint — it is a sanctuary of big-wave surfing and a scene of the ocean's raw power.
