Welcome to our family surf camp in the beautiful area of Porto in Portugal!
Here the love for surfing is combined with a premium family holiday for every age and level.
Being passionate surfers ourselves, we’ve searched for an area of coastline with very minimal surf tourism to maximize the surf experience and have come across the campsite in Estela, which accommodates us as the sole surf camp on this beach.
We want to specialize in surfing experiences where people can come together and enjoy the rarity of uncrowded surfing in preserved nature.
Being parents ourselves, we know what families need in their holidays. Therefore a few important things are included in your stay: We prepare healthy, nutritious and child-friendly continental breakfast for all families in the morning and on five days per week we serve you fresh dinner made from local produce. We will suit the needs of all kinds of diets.
We provide a nanny who takes care of the children on the beach while the parents join the surf or yoga lessons, allowing every family member to enjoy their preferred activities without having to keep an eye on the kids. The surfboards and wetsuits for the families are also included in the price and are free to use outside the surf lessons.
Features
The surf camp is located directly at the beach. Distance to the little village Estela is about 3 km. The surf spot Estela is very quiet, uncrowded line-ups with waves for every level.
Relaxed family surf camp with room for 7 families per week. Main language in the camp is English, but we also speak German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
After travelling and surfing around Europe for many years, we decided to settle on one of our favourite quiet surf spots with our own families. Here, we welcome like-minded friends to introduce them to a unique and inspiring lifestyle.
Camping in fully equipped Glamping tipi tents for 4 persons with sea view, next to a quiet beach; shared bathroom in sanitary block, shared kitchen, shared chill area.

We offer 1-, 3- or 5-day surf courses consisting of 1.5 to 2 hours per day for children and adults of all surf levels. The children are taught in groups with a maximum of 5 participants, the adult groups have a maximum capacity of 8 students. In the lessons, we are not only teaching the students the basics of surfing but also water safety and surf theory, bringing you a fun, yet educational holiday.
In our surf lessons we work with Softtops and rubber fins, but we do offer a variety of rental hardtops for more advanced surfers. The use of all surf equipment (softtops, hardtops, wetsuits) is included in the stay and the equipment can be used at all times.
We offer a 4-day yoga course for all adults who want to spend some time working with their mind, body and spirit, whether it’s to stretch the muscles after a surf or to relax as much as possible. Also, we organise different family activities throughout the week to entertain parents and kids!
