Puresurfcamps has been recommending Surf Camp Algarve, organised by Funride – Animação Turistica, Unipessoal LDA, to its customers for many years. The relaxing atmosphere, unbeatable natural setting, unforgettable party evenings as well as the amazing surf make it a camp you can’t overlook. The various types of freshly renovated accommodation can cater to every visitor’s desires. Whether you are after a bit more peace and quiet and choose one of the more secluded wooden bungalows, or after more of a party atmosphere and stay in the dorm in the main house.

The manager of the camp was born in the area and has a vast knowledge of the surrounding region. He knows the coast as well as inland regions like the back of his hand and manages to find surf conditions to suit every level of surfer, whether you are doing your first day or being guided to the biggest and heaviest spots on the coast. Each surf course consists of two lessons per day around one and a half hours per lesson so you will be standing up and riding your first green waves in no time!

Options for the afternoons are endless and can be spent going for walks to nearby Raposeira, skating the new mini ramp, doing yoga courses with qualified instructors or even getting a massage. In the evenings you can hang out in the communal areas, head to Sagres with your new friends, or just relax and check out the countless stars. There are over 300 days of sunshine per year making the Algarve an ideal destination to escape those cold winter months at home.

The surf camp is centered around a main villa which is fully equipped with Satellite TV, lots of surf films and Wi-Fi. The villa is situated atop a hill with an amazing view of the surrounding natural reserve making it perfect for relaxing after a successful day in the surf. There is also the famous weekly BBQ at the camp which more often than not leads to some serious partying at the bars and clubs in nearby Sagres.
