Introduction to Surf Camp - Lagos

A surfing holiday in Portugal is a great break for all levels of surfers, from professional surfers looking to find those endless point breaks, to the total new surfer looking at hitting the surf for the first time in fun, warm surf off the Portuguese coastline.

Hidden along the cobbled lanes of the historical town of Lagos is our surf house. From here, our team of devoted surf guides and off-road vehicles will take you off the beaten track to surf some of south Portugal’s best surf breaks. The beaches around Lagos are some of the most beautiful in the Algarve region, like Praia de Dona Ana, which can be reached after a 25 minutes walk from the centre of the town, Praia do Camilo, a little further on, and Meia Praia, whose sands stretch for 4 km (2.5 miles) east of Lagos. All this great weather, surf and history are a short flight away from Northern Europe, making this the number one surf destination for any surfer, at any level.

South Portugal is not only a great surfing holiday location, but a world class golf resort with over 30 different golf courses in the Algarve alone. A perfect way to chill out after surfing all week. Horse riding is also very popular in the region and our team can arrange horse riding and golf lessons at any time of your stay with us in the Algarve.

Our surf stlyed townhouse is located in the heart of old town Lagos. The surf lodge is a short walk to the local bars, restaurants and cafes. A big roof terrace overlooks the town and surrounding beaches. The surf lodge has a fully equipped kitchen and living room. The living room has a library of surf DVD’s, a play station and stereo. The whole house has wireless internet and is lovingly looked after by our two maids. The rooms are simple in design and well looked after.

Food and Drink

We provide breakfast each morning, and take a packed lunch out with us when we go surfing. Typically we will throw a BBQ or all head into town for something to eat.

Surfing at Surf Camp - Lagos

The local surfing breaks in Lagos work during big winter swells and offer fun waves. During your stay with us in Lagos, our off-road trucks will be heading off in the direction of surf breaks such as Zavial, Tonel, Mareta and Beliche. We cater for people who are already good at surfing with our surf guide option, and also for people new to surfing with our surf school package. Our surf instructors are all highly qualified under the British Surfing Association in the UK. They all hold the latest beach lifeguard awards, and of course know each beach extremely well. We stock a good range of surfboards for all levels, and wetsuits for all sizes.

With a littering of amazing reefs, beautiful beaches and long point breaks, the Algarve is a must for any surfer at any level. During the summer, it is not uncommon to surf all day in shorts. In the middle of winter, you can even surf in light summer wetsuits, making Lagos and the south west of Portugal a year round surfing holiday location.
