Sleeping on the beach, among surfers

Baleal Surf Camp is a family business opened in 1993, Portugal's first surf camp, and the only one in Peniche right on the sand. It has two types of accommodation: the hostel, the budget option, and private apartments, more secluded. The house bar, Bar do Bruno, is on the beach.

Surf and more

It works as a surf camp: accommodation with lessons in groups of five at most, according to each person's level, and special camps each season. You can also sleep there and sign up for just a few lessons. Reception, check-in and the school have different phone numbers on their website.

Getting there
