The beach "Praia do Amado" in November

"Surfing is a type of sport. Actually it is more than that, it´s a connection between you, the sea and your board. You are not only physically connected, no it becomes part of your soul as well. This type of association is the main part of the surf experience. It is addictive, universal and at times almighty! If you haven´t yet tried it, take the chance to do so now. Surfing gets under your skin and the surf connection will stay with you the rest of your life. It is better to have surfed once and then to give it up than never to have surfed at all."

The Surfcamp is located on the south western coast of the Algarve, approximately 2 km from the small fisher village Carrapateira. Larger cities in the vicinity include Lagos and Sagres, both about 20 to 30 minutes away. You can choose between tents for two people or wooden houses which sleep three. The completely furnished houses are equipped with mattresses, you only need a sleeping bag. There are also toilets, warm showers, kitchenette with silverware and dishes, barbecue, refrigerator and freezer, in other words everything you need for a complete camp site. After you have spent your day on the board you can relax surrounded by nature. In addition to this you have the chance to discover the surrounding area via mountain bikes, which are also provided by the camp.
