Peniche Surf Camp

Overview

Peniche Surf Camp has been the heart of Portuguese surf culture since 1994, positioned on the legendary Baleal peninsula where the Atlantic delivers year-round waves to over 30 different breaks. This iconic camp sits less than 50 meters from the beach, offering surfers direct access to Portugal's most consistent wave zone. With over 50,000 students trained across three decades, the camp combines deep local knowledge with professional instruction for an authentic Portuguese surf experience.

Accommodation

The camp offers diverse lodging from hostel-style shared rooms to luxurious oceanfront apartments with panoramic views. The main facility features a rooftop terrace overlooking the Atlantic, a communal bar and canteen, plus recreational areas for post-surf relaxation. Private ensuite rooms, studios, and deluxe apartments cater to every budget, all within walking distance of world-class breaks. The on-site surf center houses over 200 boards for rental or purchase, complete with repair services.

Surf

Home to the legendary Supertubos, considered Europe's best beach break, Peniche offers waves for every level from the protected bays of Baleal to the powerful barrels that host WSL Championship Tour events. Daily lessons run with certified instructors who know every tide and sandbar, while video analysis helps perfect your technique. The camp provides complete equipment including Rip Curl wetsuits and boards ranging from soft-tops to performance shortboards. Whether you're catching your first whitewater or hunting hollow pits, Peniche delivers.
