JOURNEY
Ways to get to the camp
Arriving from Faro:
It is best to take a rental car (checkfelix), so that you are also more mobile on site. There are many nice places to look at, even after surfing you still have time and it's really worth it. You will get a detailed description of how to get there when you make your reservation.
Another comfortable arrival is the shuttle service at the airport (left), it brings you to the door of the Surfhouse in Sagres, where we also pick up our guests for free for the Surfcamp in Carrapateira.
If you want to travel cheaper - and want to see some of the country and its people - the best way is by bus (eva-bus/link) or train (cp.pt/link) from Faro to Lagos (please note to change trains!). From there, there is a bus to Vila do Bispo (eva-bus/link) at the bus stop, from where we can pick you up free of charge at any time. If you arrive in Lagos by train, you simply cross the big bridge at the nearby harbour, to the other side of the road and keep going straight.
Arriving from Lisbon:
From Lisbon the bus is the best option (eva-bus link), it will take you to Lagos in about 3 hours, where we can pick you up or you can continue by bus as mentioned above to Vila do Bispo (eva-bus link). First you take the shuttle bus or taxi from the airport to the Sete Rios bus station, then continue to Lagos. By car, take the A2 sur (south) direction Algarve, then the A22 direction Lagos. More detailed information you can get here at the reservation.
