Carcavelos beach

Level: All Levels

Carcavelos beach is our school home! Here you will find our headquarters at the Restaurant/Bar Pérola. Carcavelos It’s on the railway line linking Lisbon to Cascais and has the most extensive sandy area of Estoril Coast. However, it can still be packed during summer because it’s a main beach break location due to the short distance and excellent public transportation from Lisbon. There’s also skate and voleybal courts. Carcavelos is great spot for learning how to surf and LX Surfcamp & School it's the place to do it with quality, fun and safety. Or just rent your surf/bodyboard gear.

Guincho Beach

Level: Intermediate

Guincho lies within national park Sintra_Cascais and is one of the most Beautifull beaches of the Lisbon coast. It can be reached by bus from Cascais, but despite that It keeps a wild enviroment. The waves are powerful and the place can be windy – it has hosted windsurf and kite surf world. Guincho is different, due to its swell, wind directions and tides. South, Southeast and East winds direction are offshore. The strong swells form powerful waves, good for intermediate and advance levels, but also can be ideal for beginners in the small days.

Cascais is the perfect place to learn how to surf. The town is surrounded by many different types of beaches. The best beginners/intermediate surf beach is Guincho (pronounced Ginchu) 5 km's north west of Cascias town. It's a beautiful kilometre long stretch of beach.

Further north are two excellent beginners beaches Praia das Macas & Praia Grande. They are well worth the trip as they will take you past Cabo da Roca, mainland Europes most Western Point with a pretty impressive cliff top view.

A few hundred metres East of Cascais is Monte Estoril beach which has a small righthand wave that breaks regularly. There is a car park at its base accessed from a slip road above.

Follow the road east of Cascais along the Tagus river (Tejo in Portuguese) towards Lisbon and you will come across beach after beach offering a vast amount of surf: Bica is a great longboarders break on Sao Pedro beach. The beach has a few surf bars and restaurants and is a great place to spend the day.

Closer to Lisbon is Carcavelos beach - as the Stormriders surf guide call it: "the original and still one of the best Portuguese surf spots". Its a very consistent beach break and home to some of Portugals best surfers.

Its also worth taking the trip across the river Tagus to Costa Caparica - driving over the spectacular Ponte 25 de Abril bridge leaving Lisbon behind you. Costa Caprica is a 30 km strip of coast with some of the most consistent surf in Portugal.
