About
Funride Surfcamp has operated since 2002 in the Costa Vicentina Natural Park near Sagres. Local founder, family atmosphere, pool, horses, and access to both south and west coast breaks within 15 minutes.
Funride Surfcamp sits inside the Costa Vicentina Natural Park near Sagres, where the Algarve's south coast meets its wild west coast. Local surfer Samuel Furtado founded the camp in 2002, and that local knowledge translates into knowing exactly which break will be working on any given day—south coast swells are 5 minutes away, west coast options just 15.
The property feels like a small village. The main house has comfortable rooms, while bungalows and wooden "sheddies" spread across the grounds. A pool, BBQ area, skate ramp, volleyball court, and billiard table fill the hours between sessions. The unusual addition: horses for rides through the natural park's stunning landscape.
Funride Surfcamp has cultivated a family-like atmosphere over two decades. Staff live on-site and genuinely care about guest experiences. The surf school handles all levels with a team of experienced local instructors. The Algarve's year-round mild temperatures mean consistent conditions without wetsuit warfare. Sagres and Lagos are close enough for evening exploration when you want a change of scene.
