Costa da Caparica is Lisbon's surf beach: 15 km of sand open to the Atlantic, with small, regular waves on the central beaches, good for learning almost all year. Gecko Surf School has its school at Praia de Santo António, next to the bus terminal: the group lesson costs €30 for two hours, with board, wetsuit, insurance and instructor. Private lessons start at €80 and semi-private for two at €90.
You need to be able to swim; children can start at age 6. If the sea is not right for a lesson, they move it to another day at no cost. Paid parking next to the beach; without a car, the 3708 bus drops you a few minutes away.
