Lage
Aljezur
Situated in one of Europe's most beautiful nature parks, Aljezur has everything for either a 'laid-back' or an active holiday. Discover and enjoy the hospitality of the people, the Algarvean cooking, the beauty of this natural park (not yet spoilt by mass tourism), and of course, the wonderful weather. Aljezur is about 30 kilometers north of Lagos on the N120 and is situated in a lush, green, fertile valley that the area well known for its sweet potato crops.
It is built on either side of the river that runs through the valley while the old town is on one side and the new town is on the other. The remains of a Moorish 10th-century castle can be seen high on the hill over the old town. The views from there are fantastic. Legend has it that the Knights of Santiago under Dom Paio Peres took the castle without a fight one night in 1249 when a Moorish maiden opened the door and let them in.
Arrifana Surf Lodge
Arrifana Surf Lodge is nestled in the quiet village of Vale Da Telha in the Costa Vincenta National Park located less than five minutes drive from Arrifana Beach and only 20 minutes on foot. They are less than six kilometers away from the charming white-washed hillside town of Aljezur. Located on the southwest coast of Portugal, the area receives a consistent year-round Atlantic swell, making it one of the best places in the world for surfing. There are lots of lovely white sandy beaches, perfect for beginners, as well as challenging point breaks and reef breaks for the more experienced surfing crowd to explore.
Beaches
During your stay with Arrifana Surf Lodge, you are sure to visit one, if not all of the three beaches listed below. These beaches are all within 10 minutes drive of the lodge and are the main beaches they use to hold their surf lessons. The waves can differ on each beach depending on swell and wind direction. They have listed below what conditions work best for each beach.
Amoreira
Amoreira is Monte Clerigo's sister beach due to the proximity of their locations. Amoreira works on the same conditions as Monte Clerigo, but due to the river that creates a beautiful lagoon, the banks at this beach vary from that of Monte Clerigo creating different waves on different tides, thus making it a great alternative to Monte Clerigo.
Arrifana Beach
A west-facing beach that works best with a north-northwesterly swell with a north-to-northeasterly wind. Due to the direction in which Arrifana is situated, it has protection from big northerly swells and can hold swells up to three meters.
Monte Clerigo
Monte Clerigo is a great summer break due to its northwesterly facing position. It receives all swell from the Atlantic Ocean and works best on a south to easterly wind. You will always find a wave at Monte Clerigo when Arrifana is flat.
Distances
- Arrifana beach - 5 minutes
- Aljezur, 6 kilometers
