Cascais Beach Surf Camp - Cascais, Lisbon. Surf Camps in Portugal
INTRODUCTION
We like to welcome our guests as close friends and we want to be a home for all who are visiting us. Our rules are like those from a house where a big family lives.
Our team, besides being local to the area, are all very proud of their second home and love sharing their passion for Cascais, its stories and all their moments and experiences with our guests. Cascais is a typical coastal town with wonderful architecture, stunning beaches, and great surf points and one of the best places to indulge in delicious fresh fish and seafood dishes. It´s the perfect setting to get out and explore the old narrow streets of this historical town center.
Enjoy a meal in our dining area or out in the garden and make sure to order a cocktail from our poolside bar where the magic happens! We also offer our guests a lot of activities such as surf classes, yoga, cliff jumping, bicycle rentals and more.
