I've been to a few surf camps, and I can say that the Peniche Surf Camp were excellent. Very professional, friendly, and customer-focused. They are also contactable 24 hours if needed which is good for peace of mind. I booked a room in one of the aparments for a small group. The apartment itself was spacious and clean, with cleaners...

We are regular visitors to Portugal, and now my daughter is 11, she wanted to have a go at surfing. So wanting to make sure I was doing the right thing, I checked out all the surf clubs/camps/schools and just on my initial impression thought that PSC would be the one to go for. October 2011 was our second visit... More

I first went to Peniche Surf Camp in June 2011 and I liked it so much that I went again in September 2011. Peniche Surf Camp is really very well organized: the airport transfer, the transport to the different surfspots, the Surf School etc. The accomodation was great: clean appartment, fully equiped kitchen, two bathrooms, a huge veranda with a...

Peniche is the most reliable wave magnet in Europe. While the water stays year-round relatively cold on the same level, this has the advantage of not getting too cold in winter/autumn. Peniche Surf Camp is located in the heart of the Peniche peninsula, which guarantees waves on one of the many surf spots no matter the wind or swell direction.... More

I stayed at Peniche Surf Camp for a week in October 2011 and was a single female traveller. I stayed in a nearby house (2 min walk to camp) with primarily other solo travelers which made for a very friendly and fun time. I felt completely safe and had no concerns as a female traveller. There were numerous other girls... More

Surf in every direction within 1km, an amazing location for a surf camp, with starter waves available in the bay, up to the famous "Super Tubes". With surf in every direction you can guarantee one of the beaches will have perfect conditions for the tide and wind. The house i stayed in was great and had the opportunity to make... More
