Praia de Quiaios
Nestled within a serene natural park, under 10 minute walk from the beach and shadowed by majestic mountains, Wave Nest Surf Camp offers an idyllic escape. We are located inside ‘Parque de campismo de Quiaios’, just in front of Quiaios Beach, one of the biggest sand dune coasts in Portugal.
The local town of Quiaios, brimming with friendliness and charm, offers delightful dining experiences and quaint local markets. Despite its proximity to the vibrant city of Figueira da Foz, the camp remains a secluded sanctuary, boasting a vast, peaceful beach.
The camp’s atmosphere is one of tranquillity and positive vibes, a perfect setting for making unforgettable friends and memories.
Beyond surfing, the area comes alive with tiny summer festivals and lively beachside nightlife, offering a rich tapestry of experiences. Here, guests are not just learning to surf; they’re immersing themselves in a community, creating lasting connections and experiencing the joy of discovery in a setting that’s both enchanting and exhilarating.
