Sandy beaches for all surfers
Santa Cruz is a small uncrowded surfing village, 60 km
North from Lisbon, right between
Ericeira and
Peniche known for its beautiful
sandy beaches and famous among Portuguese surfers. This coast offers some of the most
powerful waves in Portugal and the swell is highly consistent all year round, which makes it an ideal choice for
surf holidays in Portugal.
Santa Cruz beach and point breaks receive strong Atlantic Ocean swells working better with half tide but depending on the bottoms and shifting sands, it can also work at high tide. The best conditions occur when East winds blow combined with West swells.
Our surf lessons are held daily at Praia do Mirante, only 2 minutes away from Santa Cruz Beach Surf Hostel. Mirante Beach is the second beach when you arrive to Santa Cruz from the north and as you will notice, its beaches offer great landscape, surrounded by high rocky cliffs.
For more
experienced surfers, we recommend the
surfari packages along the coast, guiding you through the most popular and
best surf spots in Portugal.
The surf hostel has many rooms and facilities, from shared to private double rooms, Cable TV, DVD, Wi-Fi, swimming pool, fully equipped kitchen and BBQ. The ideal surf camp for surf holidays in Portugal.
