A place of amazing natural heritage, the fossil cliffs of Caparica are a “Protected Landscape.” Carved by the fury of the waves and elements of erosion, the coastline receives swells of all kinds. It’s a consistent surf area, offering a variety of waves for all levels of surfing experience.

Good value group surf lesson with very friendly staff

5.00Pros - friendly and knowledgeable teachers, plenty of time in the water, good teacher to student ratio (about 1 for every 4-5 of us), started from the basics and built up, wetsuits and boards supplied, good price, valuables were kept securely while we learnt Cons - given the group size it could be a bit crowded in the water, one of the tutors didn't give much feedback on technique (although the others were fantastic)
the instructors are super...

5.00We had a great time! Our instructor David was amazing. We were split into smaller groups between the three instructors so we got a lot of one and one time and even managed to get up on our feet a couple of times which we were delighted with.
Time of my life

5.00What an amazing experience! The school was incredible, and the people there? Absolute legends. The instructor was the heart and soul of it all—kind, encouraging, and with a passion for surfing that’s downright contagious. I’m not sure if I learned to surf or if I just spent hours laughing and having the time of my life. 10/10 would wipe out on the waves with them again! 🏄♂️🌊
