Caparica Bodyboard Adventure

Ride the Atlantic swells at one of Portugal's most iconic surf beaches


The Caparica Bodyboard Adventure places you on the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean just south of Lisbon, where the wide sandy shores of Costa da Caparica meet consistent, beginner-friendly surf. Whether you have never tried bodyboarding before or you consider yourself a seasoned wave rider, this session is structured to match your skill level.

Costa da Caparica stretches for over 30 kilometres along the Setubal Peninsula and is widely regarded as the most accessible surf destination from Lisbon. The beach breaks here produce waves that are well-suited to bodyboarding, offering a reliable mix of power and approachability regardless of the season.

Qualified instructors accompany every session to ensure correct technique, safety awareness, and progression. All necessary equipment is provided, so participants can focus entirely on reading the water and making the most of their time in the surf.

Full safety briefing and in-water supervision provided throughout the two-hour adventure.
