About Nazare

If Nazare sounds familiar, it could be because this town's name is the Portuguese version of the biblical city of Nazareth. It gained its biblical name thanks to a tiny wooden statue of the Virgin Mary that was brought from Nazareth to Nazare in 711. Nazare can be found in Portugal’s Oeste region, which is home to more than 15,000 year-round residents.

Before Nazare was a popular surfing destination, it was a sleepy fishing hamlet, so you'll see a significant fishing presence in various parts of Nazare. It's only in recent years (2011, to be exact) that it made its way onto surfers' and subsequently traveler's radars when imagery from the monstrous waves at Praia do Norte made the news.
