Alentejo Surf Camp invites you to join this one-week Beginner Surf Camp in Portugal. This surf course perfectly suits those who want to learn how to surf from the beginning or want to refresh their knowledge for better practice. The team will give you all the necessary theories (surf terms, surf technique, safety rules) and guide you during practice time in the water. The goal is you catching whitewash waves by yourself from the first day, improving into the green waves, step by step.
During your Surf Trip with us, you will stay in our spacy, cozy Surf House in traditional Portuguese style, which has all necessary for comfortable staying: 2 double rooms and 1 shared room for 6 people, fully equipped kitchen, two toilets, big and sunny outdoor area with dining table and barbeque.
With the perfect location of just 2 km from Vila Nova de Milfontes center in a quiet rural area, where nature reflects itself, the surf house perfectly suits those who are looking for hospitality, comfort, multilingual company, young spirit and lots of surfing.
Hello dear guest!
Alentejo Surf Camp wants you to enjoy every minute of your stay with us and be able to dedicate yourself completely to surfing!
That's why, be ready to spend much of your time at the beach, chasing sun and waves, and enjoying Portuguese hospitality in our Surf House!
Every your day starts with a delicious homemade breakfast, which takes place in our sunny patio where all guests and our Surf team are enjoying it all together, sharing plans and expectations from the following surf day.
Then be ready to go to the beach, where, depending on surf forecast, you will do max two surf sessions: first 2 hours of surf lesson, then a break and then more 2 hours self-practicing with photo-coaching.
During the break, you can chill at the beach or go for a coffee with the best Pastel de Nata around or for simple, but incredibly tasty Portuguese lunch: soup and "Tosta Mista".
Arriving back home closer to the evening you will probably have energy only to take a shower and then to have dinner with us in the Surf House! Yes, we also offer homemade dinners made by our volunteers, and thanks to the wide geography of their nationalities - you can try the most delicious food from all over the world.
After there are a few options: to go to town for delicious ice cream (also homemade, by the way), to go to the bar (if you still have some energy left), or to stay in the Surf House, chilling in the garden, drinking Portuguese wine and chasing stars.
Can it be better? Yes, it can if you, by any chance, like to play guitar!
You will explore with us the most beautiful coastline and National Park of Portugal - Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park surfing on different beaches and hidden surf spots.
We will show you the Pearl of Alentejo - the small town of Vila Nova de Milfontes where the river Mira meets the ocean.
You will visit Sines, the motherland of famous Vasco da Gama, and will try the best Pastel de Nata in Alentejo.

This surf camp will take place in Vila Nova de Milfontes, Alentejo, Portugal. It is located in Costa Vicentina National Park - the unique area, considered as one of the most beautiful Atlantic coastlines of Southern Europe with long stretches of sandy beaches nestled between the cliffs and rocks.
While surfing we will explore the main surf spots - Malhão beach, beaches of Porto Covo, Aivados beach and São tropes.
But there are much more to see: romantic Porto Covo and historical Sines, our hometown Vila Nova de Milfontes and numerous farms and wineries around.
