Ocean Ferrel Surfcamp (Peniche, Portugal)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

---

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

Welcome to the unique feeling, the unique experience of being in the best surf spot in Europe and one of the best in the world.

Located by the road which links Baleal to Ferrel, it’s safe to say that our surf camp is at the perfect distance from everything you need. Still close enough of the waves, supermarket, pharmacy and other primary necessities, but not too close to the noisy nightclub scene if you’re looking for some peace and quiet.

CAMP CHARACTER

In Surfing, many times it only takes one good ride, one good wave to make a session memorable and get that smile that seems to last forever. But before and after surfing there are other special moments to be had, and those result from the service quality of Ocean Ferrel Surf Camp. With limited vacancies we guarantee the attention you deserve and consequently feel necessary to ensure you are taken care of, because it’s your vacation, and therefore you deserve the best! To honor the preference amongst the other Peniche area surfing camps we promise a family like environment, where you don’t get lost in the crowds and actually get to know everyone, many times creating friends for life.
