Check it out
This site is well worth checking out, as are many of the beaches to the North. It's not as heavy as other waves in the area and better for beginners.

No stress, Porto Covo!
For the last 3 summers we go to Portugal! And Praia de Mira (in the north) an Porto Covo are really the best places to be! Especially for surfers! And the World festival this year makes !t even more special!
