According to Garrett MacNamara, surf ambassador in Portugal and world-famous for having surfed the biggest wave of the World at North Beach, in Nazaré, ‘Portugal is the best kept secret in Europe it’s so diverse and secure, with good seafood and wine. For holidays is a dream, an amazing place’.
In fact, surfing in Portugal is a unique experience for all surfers. The Portuguese coast has to offer a large number of spots of high-quality at a very short distance, which means that finding good waves in every corner of the Portuguese coast is guaranteed! Proof of this is that one of the stages of the World Championship Tour (WCT) is performed in Portugal and has already 13 consecutive editions.
Between the numerous surf spots, more than 30 are identified in the Portuguese Waves project (developed by Turismo de Portugal) and are located from North to South and also on the islands, the Azores and Madeira. This project shows you with more detail the Portuguese coast and even the documentary – McNamara Surf Trip – the documentary from the Portuguese coast, where Garrett get out to discover seven regions and two archipelagos in Portugal for 21 days.
During this adventure Garrett discovers the beauty of the landscapes and cityscapes of Portugal, the gastronomy and incredible wines of the country, the culture and traditions of each region, the hospitality of the Portuguese people and of course, great waves around every corner!Is this the combination that makes Portugal the main surfing destination in Europe and one of the best in the world?
