SURF GUEST HOUSE, SURF CAMP, SURF SCHOOL & SURF GUIDE
Our Surf Camp, Surf House and Surf School are based in Baleal, a picturesque village located on a small island at the north end of Peniche. Baleal island with it’s eclectic mix of traditional houses retains it’s original Portuguese charm/character which is why it’s popular with both locals and tourists. On each side of the island you will find pristine white sandy beaches which are ideal for surfing and sunbathing. The island has a handful of cafes/bars and a local shop however you’re only a short walk away from the mainland which offers a wider range of amenities. The popular coastal town of Peniche with it’s working fishing harbour and cosmopolitan atomosphere is only a short drive away.
The Peniche coastline is a wave magnet with several surfable coastlines to explore and as it’s a peninsular you are almost guaranteed to find an offshore wave in this area. This coastline offers a variety of beach breaks that will suit beginners/intermediates and world class waves such as Supertubos and Molho Leste that will suit experienced surfers. Spring, Summer and Autumn are ideal times to visit for the warmer climate and consistent surf. Winter is a good time to visit for bigger uncrowded waves.
Apres surf you can chill out in the surf house or head down to one of the many local surf & beach bars and watch the sunset over the ocean.
