A surf school and camp in Cascais, certified by the Portuguese Surf Federation, the tourism board and the Cascais port authority, teaching at Carcavelos, Guincho and Praia Grande.

Surf Cascais is based in Murches, inland from Guincho in the municipality of Cascais. The town's own beaches rarely break, so lessons go to whichever of Carcavelos, Guincho or Praia Grande is working that day. It is registered with the Federação Portuguesa de Surf (no. 336), Turismo de Portugal and the Cascais port captaincy.

Sintra's natural park is close by.
