Accepted Answer

We have free WiFi open for all the guests at the camp. Nevertheless, since the camp is situated in the countryside, the reception is of a countryside quality.

Our surf camp in Alentejo is located in the south of Portugal, offering empty lineups and a unique ambiance. Lapoint surf camp Alentejo gives you a glimpse of traditional Portugal, situated among endless fields, vineyards, and spacious beaches. The camp will offer you the calmness and relaxation that you need. We will eat breakfast and dinner at the big, traditional family table, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Question 11

Does Alentejo have good surf?

Accepted Answer

Alentejo has nice and consistent waves all year around without having a crowded lineup. If you are thinking of surfing in Portugal, Alentejo is a more laid-back surf location than Ericeira. Alentejo provides good-quality surf with smaller and friendlier waves in summer and bigger swells in winter.

Question 12

Are there any other activities around the camp besides surfing?

Accepted Answer

The camp is quite remote, with the closest village a 10 min drive from the camp. So outside surfing, we spend quite a lot of time at the camp chilling, enjoying the pool and the countryside, playing games, and just having a good time. If you would like to explore the surroundings, we recommend you consider renting a car. If you are looking for a quiet time and spending most of the time enjoying the campsite and surfing, we will be happy to give you a lift to the closest supermarket or pharmacy on our way from the beach. We offer activities at the camp like yoga, massage, horseback riding, and extra surf lessons throughout the week.

Question 13

Is transfer included from the airport?

Accepted Answer

We offer two shuttles between the camp and Lisbon airport each Sunday. The transfer costs 100 Euros return trip (to and from the airport). The transfer can be added when you book the trip. If you have already booked your trip, or only want a one-way transfer, you can contact the Customer care team at info@lapointcamp.com and they will help you add it.

Question 14

Do I need to rent a car to stay at the Alentejo camp?

Accepted Answer

The camp is quite remote and it can be a nice idea to rent a car to get to the camp and to be able to explore the area and beaches during your stay. There are numerous rental car services in Portugal, and most of them offer car pick-up at the airport.
