Beginners and intermediate

Peniche and Baleal have waves almost every day because the peninsula faces two ways: if one coast is not working, the other is. Baleal Surf Camp, Portugal's first surf camp, open since 1993, gives lessons on Baleal beach in groups of five at most, with an instructor, board, wetsuit and insurance.

A lesson costs €38 from November to March, €43 in April, May, June, September and October and €48 in July and August; the 5, 10 and 15-lesson passes work out cheaper. Single lessons are Monday to Friday.
