Best beaches of Algarve in a nutshell

The coast of Portugal points to the open Atlantic Ocean, which provides magnificent waves, desired by any surfer. The size of the waves changes strongly from beach to beach. The West Coast (from Sagres to Sines) usually offers bigger waves than on the South Coast.

Surf trip with our Campervans

We provide easy and cheap surf trip solutions. Our vans are equipped with an outdoor shower and water deposit for your comfort, and a roof-top holder (incl. fixation belts) to transport surfboards of any size. Feel free to bring your own board or rent one with us.
