3 minutes by car to the beach, close to the train that can quickly take you out to the city (called Baixa) you will have a lot of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and a metro station close by. At night you will also only need a short stroll to get to the nightclubs and bars. The area receives consistent Atlantic swells and provides great surfing all year round for both beginners and more experienced surfer.

After an amazing day of surfing you can watch the sunset and try the local shellfish, washed down with a good Portuguese wine. 

Summers in the region tend to be sunny, dry and clear, with an average temperature of 25ºC, and the warm weather conditions last well into September. The winter is colder (around 13 ºC) and it sometimes rains a bit, but it rarely persists for longer periods. On the other hand winter and early spring is when the biggest swells occur.
