Surfing Sagres: Complete Guide
At the south-westernmost tip of Europe, Sagres sits where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet — and where you can choose your coast based on the wind. North-coast beaches like Tonel and Beliche pick up powerful Atlantic swell while the south side stays glassy in onshore conditions.
Why surf Sagres?
Two coastlines, dramatic cliffs, and cheap surf-camp packages popular with backpackers across Europe.

Praia do Martinhal and Mareta on the south coast are ideal for first-timers.
