At the southwestern tip of Europe, Sagres catches swell from two oceans: west-facing Tonel and the wild beaches up towards Castelejo take the full Atlantic, while sheltered Mareta and Beliche stay surfable when everything else is blown out. It's the Algarve's one true surf town: raw, uncrowded, and consistent from autumn to spring.
Marola works with surf shops and schools along this coast, and they list fishes for playful Mareta days and boards with more foam for Beliche. When one of them has a board free for your dates, you book it here and collect it near the beach. The stock, the handover and the advice on which break is working stay with the shop.
Board handovers usually happen in Sagres town itself, close to both Mareta and Tonel, convenient if you're staying centrally, and they're usually happy to tell you which beach is working best that morning.

Which beach in Sagres suits my level?

Do I need a wetsuit in Sagres?
