From the massive waves of Nazare to the gentle rolling breaks of Cascais, a lot of surfers will tell you that Portugal has it all. This is a place where beginners come to learn and pros come to rip, and all this is possible along the short stretch of Atlantic coastline.
Even non-surfers come to Portugal just to watch the pros take on Nazare’s goliath waves. It’s safe to say that the ocean has influenced much of Portuguese culture, and surfing is and always will be a big part of that.
