Amazing
Amazing
The accommodation at Amar surf camp is very nice and the location is great, in the centre of town with shops, restaurants and bars very close. The kitchen is clean and the breakfast is quite amazing.
The hostel is not very organized and first put us in the wrong room, did not tell us that our surf lesson on day 1 was cancelled and they nearly forgot to tell us that they had changed the times of our lesson on day 5.
Amar surf camp is a very calm hostel, perfect if your looking for a relaxing few days. However, there are not many events/evenings organized, so if you're looking to meet new people I wouldn't recommend this hostel.
I unfortunatly wouldn't recommend surfing with amar surf camp for a few reasons
- first you should note that video analysis and photo sessions are put forward on the site, but they only tell you when you turn up that these are only included in particular packages (that you probably havent signed up for)
- second, you only really surf for under 1 hour and a half (as transport/changing etc take a bit of time)
- the surf instructor is very friendly but the lessons lacked a bit of theory / tips on how to improve
We don't provide airport transfers but you can book one easily here: Airport Transfers

This is where you surf Europe's best coast line and let the fun begin.There are over 12 surf breaks along the Ericeira coast, with different options for all standards. With so much choice you'll feel like a kid in a sweet shop! The area was introduced in the Stormriders Surf Guide to Europe with the heading "Enter the Heartland".
World Surf Reserve
In 2011 it was awarded the title of 'World Surf Reserve', there are only 2 other places in the world that share the title: Santa Cruz, US and Manly, Australia.
If it is your first surfing holiday to Ericeira then head straight to Foz do Lizandro and Sao Juliao beaches south of town, they are perfect beginner and intermediate surf spots. Closer to town is Praia do Sul. Another great beginner beach breaks. All best at mid tide but surfable at high and low tide also.
For Intermediates you have the reliable and safe reef break Ribeira d'Ilhas, which host the WSL World qualifying series surf championships every year. And for the more adventurous you have the world class Coxos. That's just naming a few, there are too many surf breaks to mention here!
Don't forget to explore further up the coast - 25 minutes away is Santa Cruz and an hour away is Peniche, home to the World renowned Supertubos and host of the Rip Curl Pro since 2009. 30 minutes south of Lisbon is the Cascais coast with the famous Praia do Guincho surf beach. And when north winds are blowing you can venture further south towards Carcevelos beach and the other surf spots along the Lisbon coast.
