A holiday in Portugal would not be complete without riding some waves: so don't miss the chance to participate in our surfing lessons at Praia da Lagoa de Albufeira in Sesimbra. Just 40 kilometres south of Lisbon, the Atlantic ocean offers perfect conditions to practice surfing, no matter whether you are beginners or advanced surfers. Our certified surf instructors help all adults and children from an age of 7 years to work on their surfing skills in small groups with a maximum of 6 participants.
