Portugal Nazaré Lighthouse

Nazaré is a surfer's paradise, the capital of giant waves. The Nazare Lighthouse (Farol da Nazaré) dates back to 1903 and is located on a cliff in the upper or northern city. The phenomenon of giant waves is due to the Nazaré Canyon, an underwater valley with a depth of about 5,000 meters and an extension of 230 km. Its funnel shape, narrowing at "Praia do Norte", is what causes the enormous waves that have reached heights of 30 meters, as we said, unique for the most extreme surfing.

A drone was used to capture this image.

Very difficult to park. It is forbidden to take the car to the spot. The parking next to the spot is for the lighthouse employees.
