Alentejo Surf Camp: A Week of Atlantic Waves, Pine Forests and Campfire Evenings

A typical day at camp starts with breakfast, then surf. The camp is set among pine forests and sandy tracks, with long Atlantic beaches a short distance away. Surf sessions are available on request if you want guidance to catch your first waves, and yoga classes can be added to your package. Afternoons are open — relax at camp, explore the coast, or make use of the free surf and camp equipment. Evenings are around the campfire or the shared table, with dinners included on weekly stays (no dinner on Wednesdays).

What sets this camp apart is its location on the Alentejo coast, which feels quieter and more spacious than many other Portuguese surf destinations. The landscape is open skies, pine forest and wide beaches, and the pace is slower. It suits people who want to improve their surfing in a natural setting without the crowds.

The camp is run by Outer Reef Surf Travel. Accommodation options are glamping tents, sharing tents and private bungalows, all within the camp grounds. The camp is designed for outdoor living, with easy access to shared spaces and activities.

Included in a weekly stay are accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner (no dinner on Wednesday), free access to all surf and camp equipment, and participation in main camp activities. Surf lessons and yoga classes are available on request for an additional cost.

High season runs July and August with Saturday-to-Saturday stays only. Low season runs May, June, September and October with weekly Saturday-to-Saturday packages and shorter stays from Saturday to Wednesday or Wednesday to Saturday.
