Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Lisbon - overnight stay in Ericeira
After picking you up at the airport, you will head straight to your first stop: Ericeira. This place has been designated the first World Surfing Reserve (WSR) in Europe since 2011. Here, you will enjoy a variety of incredible waves and admire simply stunning scenery!
Day 2: Carcavelos - overnight stay in Ericeira
This is your first stop on the surf trip! Carcavelos is renowned throughout Portugal for its excellent surfing conditions. They are sure that you’ll have one of the best sessions of your life here, with perfect conditions!
Day 3: Portinho da Arrábida - overnight in Vila Nova de Milfontes
Situated between Setúbal and Sesimbra, Arrábida Natural Park has been recognized as one of the seven wonders of Portugal. This place offers some of the most breathtaking views in the country.
You will pass through this gem and then take a boat to continue your journey. Continuing south, you will reach the charming fishing village of Vila Nova de Milfontes. Here, you will witness one of the most beautiful sunsets of your life. The narrow streets and the river give this place a unique charm.
Day 4: Praia São Torpes - overnight in Vila Nova de Milfontes
When the swell is large, Sao Torpes is the perfect spot. Even with waves over 3 meters, you can still surf here. It offers a long wave with the choice of right or left-handers - you decide which direction to ride!
Day 5: Praia do Malhão - overnight in Sagres
This spot is ideal when the swell is small. Located 25 kilometers south of Sao Torpes, this place is a bit remote, which means you often get to surf on your own. Hope for offshore winds and guaranteed barrels!
Day 6: Praia da Arrifana - overnight in Sagres
Arrifana is a hidden gem in the southern region. It's a magical place with a welcoming vibe. With nice small restaurants and an ocean view from the top of the cliffs, this area is truly breathtaking!
Day 7: Sagres - overnight in Lisbon
Depending on the swell direction, you can choose where to surf in this area. Whether it's the south or west coast, or protected beaches, there are numerous options to find the perfect spot. Additionally, during the winter, this area is the warmest part of the country!
