Quick Facts
Overview
The Surfcamp is a “real” surf camp – a cozy villa where you feel immediately at home. The sandy beaches around the surf camp are among the most popular surf beaches in Europe – there you will find ideal conditions for surfing, moreover we are preferred here in the south of Portugal compared to the north by much warmer air and water temperatures. Many surfers therefore choose this region.
The surf camp is located on the southwest coast of Portugal. Here the Algarve shows its most beautiful side: impressive sandy beaches, breathtaking cliffs, sleepy villages, fragrant eucalyptus forests… After an intense day of surfing, you will hear the sea rushing on our terrace in the evening – a real dream for every surfer.
