Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Carcavelos is a pretty popular beach, it is the first main beach out of Lisbon(the capital) so if the sun is shinning than you better bet your ass this beach will be so packed you don't even have room on the sand to put out a an A4 sheet of paper never mind a towel.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Some good surf but it's too crowded, carcavelos can also be a very dangerous place to surf. Beacause of it's popularity and it's moderately "safe" waves it has attracted every teenager wanting to become a bodyboarder in the surrounding area, I've been ramed, cutt-off, run over more times here than I'd even like to remember.. |

General |
basicly...if it's 8am and it's good go for it! any later and you can get better point breaks just a couple of minutes down the road to Parede, S.Pedro, ect |
