Why Costa de Caparica, Portugal?
Surf trips should feel easy—and that’s exactly what you get in Costa de Caparica. Compared to other spots in Portugal we have way more sunshine, lighter winds, and a relaxed climate and that means more surfable days and more time enjoying life outdoors. No stress, no chasing forecasts—just consistent conditions and blue skies.
Everything here is walkable. From your bed to the beach, from surf sessions to coffee breaks, sunset drinks, and dinner—no cars, no planning, no wasted time. And with kilometers of sandy beach breaks, the waves are naturally safer and spread across countless peaks, keeping the crowds moving instead of packed into one spot.
Simple days, sunny moods, and space to surf properly. That’s why Costa de Caparica feels so good.
Why Surf With Us?
Because surfing is what we actually do. From March to November, we run two surf lessons a day, every day, giving you real time in the water and space to progress. Sessions are kept small and divided by level, so you’re always surfing with people at a similar stage. We drive to less crowded spots to allow proper learning, focus, and more waves. This is a surf camp built around surfing—nothing watered down. For advanced surfers, we also offer surf guiding, giving you the freedom to explore quality waves if you’re confident handling yourself in the water.
Why stay with us?
Because we genuinely love what we do—and it shows. Lost Caparica Surf House is all about easy living, shared surf days, and real community. We stand for tolerance, peace, creativity, and sunset barbecues. Our home was built around surfing, and the arts and culture that naturally come with it.
We’re located just steps from the ocean, in a friendly, family-vibe neighbourhood, right in the heart of town. Everything is within walking distance, so days flow easily from surf sessions to coffee breaks, sunset strolls, and long dinners.
Mornings start with a nutritious breakfast, topped with our daily homemade sweet, freshly prepared every day. Then it’s time to head out for a full day of surfing, sunshine, and sand. Evenings slow down around the table, with long conversations, good food, and shared moments. When it’s time to rest, we make sure you sleep well and properly recharge after long days in the ocean.
The vibe is simple, social, and surf-focused. Stay with people who care about surfing—and about people—and leave feeling part of it.
