Why Costa da Caparica
Close to Lisbon
Located just across the water from Lisbon, you'll find Costa da Caparica. The beach stretches out along a long coastline & defines the lifestyle of everyone who lives here.
Amazing community
The community is wonderfully diverse — local fishermen, expats, a big Brazilian crowd — and it's easy to make new friends. You'll see the same faces in the water, then at the surf café afterwards, and then again at the bar that night. People here are friendly and welcoming in a way that feels natural, not forced.
No car needed
You don't need a car. Most places are within walking distance, and Lisbon is just a short bus ride away: Close enough that you can dip in and out whenever you feel like it. Beach life or city life? How much of each is entirely up to you.
Great beach town vibes
In the summer, the town really comes alive. Beach parties, festivals, long evenings that go on longer than planned. The only problem is, that you might never want to leave!
A typical day at the surfcamp
To start
The day begins in the best way imaginable with a morning surf lesson. While it can be a struggle to leave a warm bed, it is always worth getting up early to catch the first light on the water. We teach in small groups to ensure everyone receives personalized attention, guaranteeing that you don’t just have a great time, but actually see real improvement in your technique.
Breakfast time
Once we’re back at the house, a healthy and delicious breakfast will be waiting for us. This is our dedicated time to debrief, refueling together while we swap stories and relive the best waves of the morning.
You’re in charge
From there, the rest of the day is completely up to you. You’re welcome to use all of our surf equipment for free if you’re itching for a second session, or you can simply take it easy and soak up the sun on the beach. If you feel like wandering, there are several charming cafes nearby to hang out in, or you could hop in an Uber for a quick trip to the vibrant streets of Lisbon. For those looking for a bit more adventure, the stunning white-sand beaches further south are well worth the exploration.
Sunset drinks
Our favorite way to wrap things up is with a sunset drink at one of the many local beach bars. Quite often, one drink turns into a few more, and we find ourselves dancing the night away. Whatever your particular vibe is, we know you’ll love it here; there truly is something for everyone.
