(i) rent a car (ii) stay in Cascais, small village, 20 kms from Lisbon, near surf and touristic areas (iii) Begginers surf: 15m from Cascais to Carcavelos - "linha" - throught coast road, if small on "linha" go to Costa da Caparica throught the bridge, if flat on "linha" go to Guincho (10m) or Praia Grande (25m)- nice car drive throught the mountain and less windy - (iv) best surf : Ericeira (45m), nice village, go to Rebeira d'ilhas, very easy and funny wave ; Peninsula of Peniche (1,15h), ugly village but good surf (v) buy a Lisbon tourist guide, please note that from Cascais, by car, you are: 15m from Sintra, 20m from Belém and 30m from Lisbon (vi) the only good place to go out near Cascais it's a disco called Jazzbell in Estoril, all other choices are in Lisbon. Most trendy area in Lisbon it's Bairro Alto, most famous disco it's Lux (vii) if you have time go south throught the coast, it's very nice and warmer, and also good surf (viii) Have fun and enjoy Portugal.

Need some help here!I m planning to visit portugal on april with my girlfriend.i m a beginner but i have my own equipment & my girlfriend doesn t surf at all.I d like to combine surfing with tourism cause i don t want my girlfriend to get bored.That s why i d like to visit a place that has surf but it s also beautiful & picturesque & has things to do among surf.any suggestions???so i believe that staying near lisbon would be fine because i could go for walks & nightlife after surfing.should i book a surf camp or an hotel?are there any other than lisbon nice places that i could stay & which?
Surfing In The Lisbon Area
Reality. For those of you visiting the Lisbon area to surf, stick to the following beaches: Carcavelos, Parede, São Pedro, Guincho, Ericeira (almost all of them) and Peniche (again most of them), south of the bridge, forget it, Costa da Caparica has the worst crapiest waves and crowd, stick with the real surfers and leave the posers to their crap beaches.
