Waves for All levels

With a coastline stretching for kilometers, Costa da Caparica offers a variety of breaks for every surfer. We focus on small groups, and our experienced surf coaches know the local conditions inside out. That means you spend more time catching waves and less time paddling against the current.

Costa da Caparica

Life moves a bit slower in Costa da Caparica. Days are spent surfing, skating along the boardwalk, watching the waves, and having sunset drinks with friends. It is a unique surf destination where you never know who you might run into at a local acai spot. Our guest house puts you right in the middle of it all.

Close to Lisbon

Lisbon is just a quick bus or Uber ride away, making it easy to head into the city for some sightseeing after your surf lessons. You get the best of both worlds: catching waves all morning and wandering the historic streets of the capital by afternoon.

Surfer's Breakfast

Every morning after the surf, we serve a big breakfast at the house to make sure everyone is fueled up. We keep it fresh and simple: plenty of fruit, eggs, local bread, and juice.

We love this part of the day: Everyone sitting around the table together, still salty from the ocean, talking about the waves they caught.

More than a surf camp

Because we keep things small and personal, the house naturally feels like a home. It is the kind of place where you arrive as a guest and leave with a new group of friends. If you are traveling alone, you won’t be for long; the kitchen and common areas are natural hubs for meeting people. It’s easy to find a partner for a sunset skate or someone to grab an acai bowl with after the morning surf.
