CORTEGAÇA SURF CAMP & Surf Clinics
Whatever your level, you never stop learning. The surf instructors at the Cortegaça Surf Camp can teach you how to surf or offer you a Surf Clinic to help advanced surfers progress to the next level. You will get professional advice, error correction and tips on improving your style. The camp is located in a pine forest behind a dune that leads directly onto Cortegaça beach. You can hear the sound of the waves from your tent or caravan and the surf is just meters away. What really sells this spot to us is that you can surf fantastic waves only with a few surfers in the water and the locals are friendly and laid back. This is an oportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world.
There are three accommodation options available for surfers in Cortegaça: Either stay in roomy, comfortable 2 person tents (All the tents are supplied with a sleeping bag and a mattress) or stay in shared 'dorm-style' rooms in the surf house located just 500m from the beach! New in 2008: Surfers with reluctant partners, or looking for a little more privacy can opt for a private room in our village accommodation.
