Location

An authentic part of Portugal

Alentejo is situated on the south coast of Portugal, a scenic 2-hour drive from Lisbon. This sparsely populated region of the country offers a genuine cultural experience, where you get up close to the authentic Portuguese traditions and way of life.

Deserted beaches, stunning nature, beautiful wineries and near-empty lineups are here to enjoy.  Living carefree in the fresh air in and around the ocean will leave you re-energized and full of good memories.

Alentejo’s coastline is known for its consistent surf and high-quality waves, and there are plenty of options for surfers coming to this area. The waves are mellow and beginner-friendly during the summer and get bigger during spring and autumn. Our favourite surf spot is a 15-minute drive from the camp.

A surf experience off the radar

In Alentejo, you get the calmness of a surf camp off the grid. In contrast to our other camp in Portugal (our Ericeira camp), here in Alentejo we keep it more relaxed. You can pick to come here with one of our surfing packages or only stay at the camp. 

This is for you who:

  • Want to surf level 1, 2 or 3

  • Want to stay in a small, cozy camp with a family vibe

  • Don’t mind living a bit further away from the beach 

  • Want to see the authentic countryside of Portugal
