Program

The Surf At school is duly certified by the Portuguese Surfing Federation and is dedicated to teaching the practice of Surf and Boogie boarding at the Praia das Maças and Praia Grande beaches, in the emblematic area of Sintra.

The classes take place between these beaches and the beach of Carcavelos, depending on the conditions of the sea. They provide a wide variety of programs appropriately suited to the various levels and ages involved, always in a fun, enthusiastic, and safe environment so that you can make the most of your experience and contact with the sea.

1:5 Class Ratio

The lessons come with a ratio of one instructor for every five students in order to waive the required attention and instruction to each student. All equipment is included and adapted to the level of each surfer. These highly skilled and experienced instructors know all the surrounding breaks and will take you there at the best time of the day according to the best conditions and tides. The instructors will paddle out with the students and explain each rip current and where to position oneself on the lineup. All equipment, insurance, and transfer if you need to move to other beaches are included.

Location

Aldeia da Praia sits right between a sandy pine forest and the two Sintra beaches of Praia das Maçãs and Praia Grande. It is a seven-minute walk from the camp to both destinations with fine, white sand where the waves are rolling in. At sunset, you will have the most beautiful view with the sun disappearing into the sea. You will find a common kitchen, supermarket, and a few cafés and restaurants, all around the Aldeia da Praia where the hostel is located.

How to get there

Recommended Airports

Driving directions

  • Just 8 kilometers out of Sintra, you will find the village in between the beaches of Praia Grande and Praia das Maçãs.
  • When coming from Sintra, take a right in Colares.
  • Head towards Praia das Maçãs for 2 kilometers.
  • Go straight on the round-about (first exit).
  • After 200 meters, you will find the hostel and glamping, Aldeia da Praia, to your right.

Arrival by bus

If you take the bus from Sintra Portela station, catch the 441 (to Praia das Maçãs) and get off at the roundabout where Telepizza is. The stop is called Ponte Rodizio. The venue is just in front of there. You will see already the tall water tower painted all in white. Alternatively, you can take the 439 (direction Praia Grande) and walk for five minutes down the hill.

Arrival by train

From Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS), take the metro, three stops to Oriente train station and from there, catch the train to Sintra Portela. From there, take the 441 bus as indicated above or take the antique tram (the eléctrico) that rides you right into the center of Sintra in a wonderfully slow 45-minute ride in the red, antique cable car (only during summertime).
