However, the height of some waves can amaze anyone with their size.

Where to admire the most impressive waves on the planet

As it turns out, the place where you can regularly observe a real miracle of nature is the Portuguese city of Nazaré. The settlement is small, but during the "wave season" a huge number of tourists appear.

It is noteworthy that it was here that one of the Guinness records was set. The athlete managed to "overcome" a wave whose height was more than 23 meters. This result was able to surprise many.

It is in this region that waves of such dimensions are not uncommon. Several years ago, it was possible to officially register the appearance of a wave whose height was more than 24 meters.

Experts believe that the region is famous for its huge waves due to its geographical features. The thing is that there is a very large canyon on the ocean floor, which "provides" the Portuguese city with huge waves.
