Location
Portugal is a very consistent surf spot, there are waves all year round. It is considered to be one of the most consistent countries to surf. This program will take place just a five-minute walk to the beach.
Located in the heart of Santa Cruz, about 30 minutes north of Ericeira, and an hour’s drive from Lisbon, The Surf Hostel is a few footsteps away from several beaches on the west coast at the north of Lisbon. With the advantage of being based in a wave-rich area that is much less known than the famous Portuguese surf hubs like Ericeira and Peniche. When you get out of the hostel gates, you will find a nice peaceful village with good night life. Born in a family villa, The Surf Hostel embodies the pleasure for the beach, traveling, receiving friends, and making new friendships.
