The toponym "Nazaré" is intrinsically linked to the Legend of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré (Our Lady of Nazaré). Throughout the 20th century, Nazaré gradually evolved from a fishing village to a town dedicated to tourism, having been one of the first international tourist destinations in Portugal. The tourism industry is today one of the main employers in the town. It was in Nazaré that the world record for the largest wave ever surfed, with approximately 30 meters, was recorded, established by Garrett McNamara at Praia do Norte (North Beach) in November 2011. Due to the global projection of Nazaré's giant waves, the town has become the host of the largest international surfing championships and receives many athletes of this sport, as well as thousands of curious onlookers and tourists who come to appreciate their courageous demonstrations.

When the great super continent - Pangea - drift apart and gave birth to the actual continents , there were shallow marine areas and a tropical climate, warm and moist. The vegetation allowed the proliferation of herbivore dinosaurs, such as the sauropods that left footprints in the thin layer of limestone mud in shallow marine zones.
