One of the longest and emptiest sand dune coasts in Portugal

Praia de Quiaios

Tucked away in a peaceful natural park, just a short 10-minute walk from the beach and framed by stunning mountains, Wave Nest Surf Camp is your perfect escape.

We’re located inside the cozy ‘Parque de Campismo de Quiaios,’ right across from Quiaios Beach—a stretch of unspoiled coastline and some of the largest sand dunes in Portugal.

The village nearby is Quiaios, offering everything one needs from friendly faces, to essentials like pharmacy or mini-market. While the beautiful city of Figueira da Foz is just 10 minutes away by car, our camp feels like a world apart – Secluded, green, surrounded by the calming beauty of one of the largest and emptiest beaches in Portugal.

The camp’s atmosphere is one of tranquility and positive vibes, a perfect setting for making unforgettable friends and memories.

Beyond surfing, the area comes alive with tiny summer festivals and lively beach side nightlife, offering a rich tapestry of experiences. Here, you are not just learning to surf, you are immersing yourself in our community, creating lasting connections and experiencing the joy of discovery in a setting that’s both breath taking and exciting.
