More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt air and Atlantic swell open the day as you meet at the Lisbon Zoo and head south toward the endless break of Costa da Caparica. The road unwinds past river mouths and fossil cliffs; the ocean smells of kelp and possibility. On the sand the surf instructor sizes you up, hands you a board and wetsuit, and the Tagus pushes a steady rhythm against the shore — waves that can be playful or insistently corrective depending on the set.

Be confident in the ocean
This tour requires comfort swimming in waves — if you panic in surf, the lesson isn’t suitable; notify the guide of your level.
Wetsuit sizing matters
Provide accurate height and weight at booking so instructors can fit a wetsuit that retains warmth and allows movement.
Protect from sun and wind
Even on cool days UV reflection off wet sand can burn — use high-SPF sunscreen and a hat for shore time.
Leave electronics dry
Bring a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras; optional surf video footage is usually shared digitally.
Full wetsuit
Keeps you warm in Atlantic water temperatures and protects from abrasion while learning on the board.
Rash guard or neoprene top
Adds sun protection and reduces chafing during longer sessions in warm months.

Reef booties or water shoes
Useful for walking rocky shorelines and for comfort on colder sand exits.
