Operated by Feel Caparica · Fonte da Telha, Setúbal
Located along Portugal’s sunny Setúbal coast, Fonte da Telha offers an accessible gateway to some of the country’s most consistent and family-friendly surf spots. Known for its gently rolling beach breaks and mild Atlantic swells, this stretch of sand provides an ideal learning environment for young wave riders. Here, Feel Caparica brings a specialized kids’ surf program designed to introduce children aged 5 to 12 to the essentials of surfing in a safe, supportive, and engaging way.
The Mensalidade Kids package delivers six interactive 2-hour lessons per month, each taught in small groups with a maximum of four students per instructor. This low ratio ensures personalized attention, adapting coaching techniques to each child’s skill level and confidence in the water. Sessions emphasize foundational safety rules—covering how to handle the surfboard, read wave patterns, and follow beach protocol—building skills and respect for the ocean simultaneously.
Surfboards and wetsuits are provided, so families only need to bring enthusiasm and swimwear. Lessons incorporate warm-ups, practical paddle training, and hands-on time catching waves, all under the watchful eye of certified instructors familiar with local conditions and tides. The gentle break, consistent wave sets, and mild water temperatures at Fonte da Telha reduce barriers for first timers, making this program a standout destination for younger surfers.
Beyond the water, the area’s natural beauty shines with its shifting sand dunes and coastal pinewoods, while local fishermen’s villages offer a glimpse of Portugal’s maritime heritage. Feel Caparica’s kids program doesn’t just teach surfing—it fosters ocean awareness and confidence, a valuable foundation for any outdoor adventurer. Whether a family’s first dive into ocean sports or a chance to build on existing skills, these lessons provide a memorable, active experience rooted in one of Portugal’s prime surfing communities.
