About

The surf school is located next to Bar do Guincho. We work as a family! Surf classes combined with a perfect place to eat, drink, relax and enjoy the amazing ocean and coastline views. We have a seating inside and outside on the terraces overlooking the ocean. We can arrange lunches or dinners for small groups or large events. We also have sun loungers, sun umbrellas, toilet and shower facilities plus free WI-FI! Nothing better to finish your day surfing and enjoy a cocktail whilst watching the sun go down.

We have a fantastic team of instructors many of whom have been with the Moana surf school family for years! Our instructors are from all over the world and speak various languages. We focus especially on communicating with our students young, old, small groups and large groups. We want you to feel part of the family and apart from learning to surf we want you to be safe, smile, laugh and have 100% fun.

Guincho is a very special and spectacular beach. Long white sandy beach with dunes and amazing coastal views. To the North you can see Cabo do Roca the most western point of mainland Europe. We also have fantastic views of the Sintra National Park. Above all we have the ocean view and a very special light created by the Guincho micro climate and geographical location. Everyone becomes addicted to Guincho!

We are most of all a surf school but we also provide lots of other activities in the local and area and in the Lisbon area.
