Peniche Surf Lodge 2

Close to surf beach, also walking distance to the city. Nice view, quiet. Lovely hosts.

Duncan and Claire have built a really wonderful "rolling" surfing community of travellers who love to surf. Both lodges are in fantastic locations, just a few steps from the sea and all the best surfing beaches, and they are walking distance from Peniche centre. Both lodges are well equipped and impeccably clean. The family have dedicated their lives to surfing and know Peniche very well so the surfing instruction at the surf camp and local knowledge of the area is really top notch and they love to share it. They have lessons in the morning and set up a "beach base" for the day on a chosen beach. If you go surfing in the morning and tent their equipment, you can use the surf boards for personal use and go free surfing with friends you've made during the lesson, in the afternoon - or just chill out on the beach or do your own thing. This was really great as it made it very easy to make friends and make plans with others or to have a base to go off and do things and come back to. They masterfully facilitate a great group attitude to surfing lessons, (everyone said they had made good improvements) ... while creating an ambience for the group to bond and have fun together. I thoroughly recommend here for solo female travellers or couples or friends - I went on my own and had a really good time - met some great people, loads of lovely places to eat/drink and felt I was in the hands of surfing pros. I've come away refreshed, having made great friends and feeling my surfing has improved 😊

Having to go home at the end of the week!!
