We have surf courses running daily, and our surf instructors give personal feedback and tailor the lesson, demonstrations and exercises to help you step up to the next level - whether it´s the basics of the take-off or carving out the perfect cutback. If you would like to book group or private lessons or our surf course with video analysis, please contact us so we can give you the price :)

Neighbourhood information

Sagres is the main surf town in the South of Portugal, offering a wide and varied selection of waves all within a very small area. It is a place privileged by mother-nature, with coastlines facing both South and West. That is the reason why the area is known for having the highest swell consistency in all Continental Europe. The little town at the end of the world has plenty to offer besides access to huge number of beaches and surf spots. You´ll find a great selection of cafes, bars, and restaurants serving everything from traditional local dishes to modern international cuisine. Historic forts and buildings cover the coastline and surrounding villages of the Costa Vincentina - Portugal´s largest national park, right on your doorstep.
