Guest Reviews
We love Portugal as a family surfing destination. It’s a great place to access different swell conditions, with big waves for my husband, and smaller waves to keep the rest of the family stoked on the surf!
We’ve travelled as far as Australia for family surf trips, but we go back to Portugal every year as nowhere ticks as many boxes: it’s easy to get to, sunny year-round and there’s more challenging waves for me and little peelers for the kids.
