The bus hums south across the Tagus and the city’s edge falls away to low dunes and the long, open face of Costa da Caparica. Salted wind pushes inland; surfboards lean like oars against the surf base. Instructors strip the lesson into simple stages—dry practice on the sand, paddling drills, and timed waves—so first-timers stand sooner than they expect.
