This is the beach where people gather to witness the immense waves of Nazaré. The mysterious Nazaré Canyon lies at the heart of these towering waves, although several factors contribute to their formation. According to nazarewaves.com, "The Nazaré Canyon is an underwater ravine located just off the coast of Nazaré, and it plays a key role in the creation of the giant waves at Praia do Norte — Nazaré, Portugal, in combination with a series of other natural elements that sometimes align perfectly, such as the massive swells of the Atlantic Ocean, the merging of two wave directions, tides, winds, currents, and the seafloor." It’s a breathtaking to watch all these elements come together, it seems something truly out of this world!
