A glimpse inside Surf Camp Algarve

Surf Camp Algarve is located in a wonderful nature reserve in southern Portugal with access to the best surf spots on both the west and south coast. This is the perfect camp to surf, meet people and socialise, or just chill by the pool.

• Chilled surf camp with pool, garden, mini ramp and BBQ all surrounded by stunning scenery.
• Room options include the main house, bungalows and ‘Sheddies’ to suit your taste and budget.
• Spend social evenings at the famous weekly BBQ’s, playing pool, or partying in nearby Sagres
• Surf Courses and guiding with experienced locals to the best spots in the region
• Horses next to the camp available for rides through the stunning surroundings

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, and the odd wild party evening, as well as the amazing surf make it a camp you can’t look past. 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 wood bungalows, or after more of a party atmosphere and stay in the dorm in the main house. There is accommodation to suit every guest and what they are looking for.

The manager of the camp was born in the area with, it seems, a surfboard attached. 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 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 of around one and a half hours per lesson, meaning you’ll get your first experience of standing up soon enough.

Options for the afternoons are endless and can be spent going for walks to nearby Raposeira, going on nature horse rides through the adjacent parks and beaches, skating the new mini ramp, doing yoga courses with qualified instructors or even getting massaged. In the evenings you can hang in the communal areas and play pool, head to Sagres with your new friends, or just relax and check out the countless stars. In the colder months, from November to May, where the temperature rarely gets as low as 15°C.

The surf camp is centred 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 nature 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, which takes most guests through to the wee morning hours and beyond.

Surf Camp Algarve is located 2 minutes on foot away from the village of Raposeira where you can find two typical Portuguese cafes and beautiful passageways with original architecture that are definitely worth checking out. The surf camp is located in southern Portugal and is close to the main surf spots, only taking 5 minutes to get to the southern coast, and 10 minutes to the west. The main building and the wooden bungalows are located within the National Park of Costa Vincentina which provides a breath taking views. Sagres and Lagos are also nearby, as is the Surf Lodge in Ingrina.

Here you’ll get a great snack at a place called “Letzte Bratwurst vor Amerika.” For dessert you can pick yourself up a locally famous, homemade ice cream at “Alice” and walk along the beach at Mareta . In the evenings there are three main bars that really start to fill up around 23:00 and keep the guests with any musical tastes entertained until the morning.
