The Location

The Location

Alex Surf School is based in the charming town of Baleal, right next to the Peniche Peninsula in Portugal. It’s super easy to get here, and you’ll find plenty of beaches around to explore.

Nearby Surf

You’ve got beaches on both the north and south sides thanks to Peniche’s unique setup—meaning lots of consistent waves. Just 20 minutes away is the famous Supertubes, where you can catch some world-class surf action during the Rip Curl event.

What's Included

The one-week camp includes five days of surf lessons with two sessions each day, plus surf gear suited to your level. You’ll also get two video analysis sessions and can join group surf trips with a small crew. If you want to surf on your own, they rent out boards and wetsuits too.

Accommodation

Stay at the surfer-friendly Alex Surf Hostel in Baleal or opt for a private beach house if you want a bit more privacy. Both options keep you close to the waves and local vibes.

Best For

Perfect for anyone wanting to improve their skills with a mix of lessons and free surfing, especially those who love a lively surf town atmosphere.
