Nazare beach vista

Nazare beach vista

View out over the fishing / holiday village of Nazare, with its magnificent sandy beach. The beach here is popular with both tourists and surfers. It is Portugal's best known big wave spot with waves of up to 30 metres (100 feet) having been surfed here.

The cliffs from which this photo was taken are around 100m (300ft) high. Fortunately there is a funicular train to take you up and down.
