Surf Schools in Nazaré

7 schools · Portugal

Nazaré is home to the world's biggest waves. Praia do Norte holds the record for the largest wave ever surfed — a monstrous 30+ metre wall of water that draws big-wave hunters from every continent between October and March. But Nazaré is also a welcoming destination for beginners: the sheltered main beach offers gentle, consistent surf ideal for first-timers, while local schools share the unique thrill of learning in a town that has redefined what's possible in surfing. Nowhere else combines accessible lessons with such a spectacular backdrop.
