Peniche Surf Camp is one of the newest additions to our Portugal line up. The camp's location allows guests to easily access the nearby beach and surf by foot and when relaxing in the afternoons and evenings you get to enjoy stunning Atlantic Ocean views. At the camp ground the team has assembled the perfect selection of accommodation options to cater to every budget, and every type of traveler or group.
Peniche
Surf Camp Peniche is located near Praia do Baleal where you have a combination of reef & beach breaks to surf. Just to the left of the camp you have the famous fortified Baleal peninsula called Baleia by the Portuguese which means Whale. The area is littered with cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, shops & bars, but if you are looking for a little more action, about 10 minutes away from the camp by car you’ll reach the centre of Peniche. Lisbon is also only an hour away if you are wanting to head out for a night.
The old harbour town of Peniche itself is also located on a peninsula that juts out from the mainland. It’s a lively & beautiful small town, the perfect place to spend a relaxing, or not so relaxing evening. There are plenty of bars, cafés & restaurants located in the peninsula as well as beautiful histroric architecture, a lighthouse & an amazing harbour.
The world famous Supertubos is also located nearby which is arguably the best surf spot in Europe.
Supertubos
To the South of the Peniche Peninsula you have Praia do Medão, along do Medão you'll find plenty of peaks to surf, the most famous being Supertubos. The hollow A-Frame beach break hosts the Rip Curl Pro every year and is a favorite for pro surfers from around the world. If you are at our camp definitely set a few hours aside to either just watch Supertubos or if you’re already a good surfer you can head out with the locals and try get a gem.
Peniche Tour
Along the western edge of the Peniche Peninsula you will find Cabo Carvoeiro, here you have a picturesque lighthouse that dates back to 1758. It was remodeled in the 1800’s but has been guiding sailors to the Peniche Harbor for 200 years. The rugged cliffs along the western edge of the peninsula also make an amazing backdrop to enjoy a meal or local wine.
If you head back towards the mainland via the narrow goat tracks along the coast you will come across the Furninha Caves which are well worth checking out. Once you’ve passed the caves, you can keep going and you will run straight into the old Fort of Peniche.
Berlenga Grande Island
About 2 km out to sea you have the island chain of Berlengas, made up of 3 islands. The largest, Berlenga Grande, doubles as a nature reserve. Plenty of tour operators make the trip out from the harbour to explore the island's stunning beaches, lush plant life and Fort of São João Baptista.

Surf Camp Peniche offers a professional surf course with qualified instructors. The team will take everyone down to the water, where they then split up everyone into groups based off of skill level meaning your instructor will customise the session to fit your needs perfectly. The surf course basic includes 5 surf sessions with 1,5 hours in the water. You also learn about the ocean with our surf theory lesson. The medium course includes 7 sessions in the water which means more time in the water and more time for surfing.
The surf course medium
There is a surf spot right at the camp where you can free surf called Almagreira, the Surf Lessons take place 10 minutes away at Baleal, where we shuttle you every day.
Baleal
The Surf Course which the team at Peniche Surf Camp runs takes place at nearby Baleal. Baleal is an easy Beach Break with peaks to suit both beginners and intermediate surfers. You have two beaches right next to one another giving you more options to find the best waves. Each day we make the ten minute drive together down to the sandy bay and start our lessons.
The best conditions are when the swell is under 6 foot from the North or West, with an Easterly or Southerly wind.
Almagreira
Almagreira is a spot right at the camp where you can free surf outside of the course times. This is a fun beach break that provides good lefts & rights that are ideal for any surfer to improve. At low tide you see the odd rock come closer to the surface, so anywhere between mid and low is the best time to go surf. On a good day, you can expect to find long lefts and right reeling down the beach with mellow and hollow sections.
Other Spots
Peniche is littered with world class surf spots that draw surfers from across the globe. Near the home break of Almagreira you have Belgas, Lagide, Cantinho Da Baia, Praia Norte, Molhe Leste and of course supertubos where the best surfers in the world compete for the WSL (World Surf League) Rip Curl Pro Peniche.
Daily Breakfast is included

The perfect way to get yourself ready for active days out in the surf.
5 Nights a week the team put on an amazing dinner for the camp. They always make use of the freshest local ingredients and make sure every diet is catered to. The teams cooks not only prepare delicious food, but also make a bit of an event out of it meaning you get to enjoy building friendships with the team and other guests while enjoying great food, amazing views, and great local wine.
There is no meal provided on the day the weekly Lisbon trip takes place as the majority of the crew and guests take part and get taken to the best spots in the capital. If you decide you don’t want to go to Lisbon this is a great night to discover what Peniche has to offer. And of course, the team will give you some handy tips about the best places to eat and drink.
Yoga
At the Surf Camp Peniche you have the option to book a Yoga Package that consists of 5 days with 1 session per day. Yoga is the perfect exercise to compliment your surfing because it stretches the muscles you worked out in the ocean, speeding up the recovery, and getting you ready for the next days of surfing. It also calms the mind, gets you consciously noticing your breathing and building core strength, all of wich are vital to becoming a proficient surfer.
3 Yoga sessions are included during your one week stay.
Every extra session will cost 10 Euros.
Lisbon Party Tour
Every week the team organises a trip to Lisbon. The trip starts with a walking tour of the city where you get to check out all the hot spots while learning a little about the history of the city. Afterwards, the crew takes you to the old city where you can do some exploring or shopping by yourself. Then everyone meets again and you all head to the pier that overlooks the Tejo River & iconic suspension bridge for an afternoon drink. After dinner, you can enjoy a night of great food, music and share a few drinks and stories with your newly made friends from camp.
The tour costs 25 € and includes the City Tour and transfers to & from the camp.
Longboards & Cruiser
The team have got their hands on a bunch of brand new longboards that are perfect for exploring the mellow hills along the Portuguese coast. It’s a lot of fun just rolling down towards the beach skating a few kilometers towards Ericeira.
Mini Ramp
Surf Camp Peniche has its own mini ramp for practicing those frontside and backside air reverses or if you're not already a pro you can learn how to drop in for the first time. Skateboards are here in camp so there is no need to bring your own.
