Accommodation
There are two beautiful properties to choose from, both with swimming pool and different room options (single room, double room, family room). The romantic houses with their large gardens are the ideal place to relax after the excursions and surf sessions.
Casa de Esteiró
This 18th century manor house offers an idyllic garden with many cosy places to read and relax. Located at the mouth of the river «Minho», surrounded by impressive trees and close to the beaches.
Casa do Casal
This manor house was built in the early 80s from an ancient ruin and impresses with its large garden, river view and relaxed atmosphere. The 2000m2 plot is located in Seixas, just outside Caminha. In addition to the pool, many corners invite you to read and relax. There is also a vegetable garden, fruit trees and an «animal corner» with its own chickens, pheasants, ducks and canaries.
Surf
Along the 10 km long coastline there are up to 12 peaks with good surfing conditions. The surf coach/guide chooses the right surf spot every day, taking into account the direction of the swell, wind situation and tide.
Practically all spots have a sandy ground, which makes the surf beaches very pleasant, especially for beginners. And the water quality is excellent: it is awarded every year for its cleanliness, as is the sand quality.
The region offers suitable surf breaks for every level: from fast, hollow waves to comfortable, forgiving waves (to the right and left). On average with 60m surf, and in good conditions even more.
Season: In northern Portugal, you can surf all year round. From November to April the average swell is 5-6ft, from May to October 2-5ft.
