Praia da Tocha is located in the Beira Litoral region, which is part of the famous Silver Coast. It has this name because of the silver shinning reflex of the sun on the ocean. As implicit in the name, this beautiful area of mellow temperatures, white sandy beaches, and amazing landscapes is considered one of the most beautiful places in Portugal.
The closest surf spot from our guesthouse is our home break and is only 100 meters away. This beach break, for all surf levels, starts to work with less than 3 ft (1 meter) swell, and is the place to be! If it´s flat here, it´s flat everywhere! The rest of the surf spots of the Beira Litoral coast are a variety of world to class beaches, reefs, and point breaks.
The famous student city of Coimbra, our region's capital, has one of the oldest universities in Europe and is only a 30 minutes drive away from our place. The beautiful city of Porto and the famous big wave surf spot called Nazaré are only 60 minutes away from us
With such a variety of good surf spots and just a small number of surfers, this area is Portugal’s hidden jewel!

If you are looking for chilled place somewhere close to the cost surrounded by pine trees but still in the middle of nowhere, you are right at ticket2surf. We stayed there 5 days in october and had really great time with brian and claudia, the owner of the hostel. They are very friendly and helped us with everything. We really enjoyed the nice atmosphere which claudia and brian created.
The rooms are very clean and there is a lot of space to hang around indoor (living room) and outdoor. Outdoor you have some seats and benches, a big table and some hammocks. indoor you find a Tv, magazines/ books, sofas and big table, and the most other stuff like games and so on. The kitchen is well equipped and every thing you need is there, if not: Claudia and Brian will help you :) All rooms are decorated individual with a lot of love and details in it.
All in all we love to stay at ticket2surf and would like to come back as soon as possible. If you are looking for a nice place to chill, surf and have a great time, we can totally recommended this place!

Praia da Tocha
Level: All Levels
The closest surf spot to our surfhouse is Praia de Tocha and is a two minute walk from our location. This beach break, for all surf levels, starts to work with less than 3 ft (1 meter) swell, and is the place to be! If it´s flat here, it´s flat everywhere!
Buarcos
Level: Intermediate
A long, high quality right point that is more of a carving wave than a tube riding experience. It needs to be at over a meter (4ft) to wake up and it holds a decent swell. Rides can be several hundred meters long. It’s not badly damaged by north winds and is surprisingly quiet. It´s called the European J to Bay!
Cabedelo
Level: All Levels
Just to the south of Figueira town and an ex to WCT contest site. This excellent right wedges off the side of a long jetty and results in fast and hollow waves. NW winds are funneled offshore and it works best on a W or NW swell. The main peak can be challenging sometimes but there are plenty of other peaks for beginners.
Praia de Mira
Level: All Levels
Sandbar waves that hold little swell. High tide is better and offers steeper shore break style waves whereas at low tide the waves mush out on sandbars a hundred meters offshore.
