Surfing in Lisbon

Lisbon is the only major European capital where you can be in the surf before the morning coffee has cooled. Costa da Caparica, a 30-kilometre stretch of Atlantic-facing beach, sits 20 minutes south of the city by car and delivers consistent, punchy beach break. It's busy in summer but works year-round. North of Lisbon, Ericeira is 45 minutes away and Sintra's coastline (Praia Grande, Praia das Maçãs) offers solid options at closer range. For surfers who want to combine time in a great city with daily sessions, the Lisbon coast is hard to beat anywhere in Europe.
