Costa da Caparica is a sunny Surf town located 20 minutes away from Lisbon Center or Lisbon Airport. Staying in Caparica makes it very easy to enjoy Lisbon without missing out on surfing. After a couple surf sessions, you can go partying in Bairro Alto or Cais do Sodré, or go sightseeing in downtown Lisbon.
We believe Caparica to be the most user to friendly surf area in Europe. The surf is pretty consistent year long, so there's rarely a flat day. All spots around the Lodge are safe and playfull beachbreaks, able to amuse any surfer, from begginers to legends! Most of Portugal's famous spots, like Ericeira or Peniche are about an hour drive. Costa da Caparica's surfing potential is still largely underrated and so thecrowd factor is lower than any where else around.
At the beach, you won't belive you're this close to a major capital City, as the vibes are relaxed, nature beautifull and the sunset unforgettable.
The Surf Lodge is a small and cozy Villa situated in Costa da Caparica, just 100 meters from the ocean. You can surf from sunrise to sunset, just a couple minutes walking from the House. It was designed to make your Surf Trip stress-free. With very comfortable rooms and shared areas, you can rest and re-boost in between surf sessions. The space fits normal B&B standards so you can travel with your families or non-surfing buddies and they'll feel good too.
The Lodge has a capacity for up to 8 persons, 3 double/twin rooms (2 with shared bathroom and 1 with private bathroom), Shared kitchen, living room and an outside area where you can chill, sunbathe, freshen up in the little pool or do a barbeque. Within 5 minutes walking from the property you can access over 10 different surf spots, the town center, several restaurants and all other commodities you might need, such as supermarkets, pharmacy, souvenir shops, etc.
Walk to the beach or take our complementary transfer to Praia da Mata, the base for our surf school, that has been running since 2004 and will help you catch more and better waves, besides polishing your skills.
If you want to go to Lisbon, Sintra or other spots, it's quite easy, with a bus stop located 3 minutes from the lodge, plus the boat and train stations located 5 minutes driving away - if available, we'll be happy to take you there, no extra charge.

Great location and comfortable spot!
Excellent instructors and location. I plan on returning!
I didn’t stay at the lodge as it was full, so the stars are awarded as I do not want to leave a negative review as I’ve heard good things about it
Mauro was fantastic. From his warm up (which I found particularly excellent and valuable for all the movements and dynamic movements we needed when surfing) to the attention and details he would notice to help me improve. It was honestly the best surf lessons I’ve ever had. The time went quickly and I feel that my knowledge has been expanded greatly whist I had some really good fun. He’s spent a lot of time talking to me in the water so the feedback was instant, and he really helped me move forward.I would thoroughly recommend these lessons!
We provide Airport Transfers from and to Lisbon and they can be booked in the booking steps.

Costa da Caparica is a great place to surf, catering for all skill levels. With many hours of sunshine a year, consistent swells and a medium to low crowds, we believe it to be one of the best surf spots in Europe, for the everyday surfer. While other (great) surf spots in Portugal get all the reputation, Caparica remains largely underrated and therefore way less crowded than expected.

Praia da Mata
Level: All Levels
Super fun and user friendly beach break. Safe for beginners, relaxed and ripable for intermediate/advanced. Often uncrowded, specially on week days.
3 kms from our House. This is also where our Surf School is based.
São João
Level: All Levels
Punchy beach break that is offshore most summer mornings. Super fun at waist high, when all spots close by are flat.
Gets hollow and strong when overhead, for advanced surfers only.
10 minutes walk from our House
Traquinio / Paraiso
Level: All Levels
The most consistent wave around, picks up the most swell and offers point break style waves one both ends, when the sand bank is right. Being right at the center of Costa da Caparica, it's often crowded.
5 minutes walk from our House
Downtown Lisbon city itself does not have a beach and walking around siteseeing you may be oblivious to the fact that dozens of beautiful white sandy surf beaches are only a 5 minute car drive away (Or 4 train stops!)
The surrounding beaches pick up all the swells the Atlantic have to offer making it one of the most consistent surf destinations in the World.
The area has a good selection for all standards. Closest to the city would be Caxias & Santo Amaro de Oeiras. Caxias is a beautiful beach that on its day can produce perfect lefthander barrels. Oeiras is more of a winter wave and is one of the best waves in Portugal.
Next stop is Carcavelos, probably Portugal's most famous wave. Its one of the best beach breaks in Europe and regularly hosts National competitions. It suits all standards, a perfect place to learn and a great place to score some fast beach barrels with multiple peaks along the 1km stretch of beach.
There are many other spots along the coastline that runs from Lisbon out to Estoril & Cascais. Long boarders will love Sao Pedro and short boarders will thrive on spots like Poca and Sao Joao. Then on the other side of Cascais there is the stunning long white sandy Guincho beach, one of Portugal's most consistent surf spots, usually best in the morning as it can be exposed to afternoon onshore winds.
Across the river Tejo in Setubal, a 20 minute drive away, is the less crowded Costa de Caparica. Perfect for beginner/intermediates as the man made jetties create nice consistent waves. The beach stretches for 30kms and all of it is surfable!
Lisbon is also a great base to explore other regions. The surf mecca of Ericeira is only 35 minutes drive away and 1 hour north is Peniche, host of the WSL World Tour every October.
