Surf Praia do Barbas

Praia do Barbas - Costa da Caparica Praia do Barbas features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom, offering fun conditions for surfers.

Ideal surf seasons run from September to May, accommodating various board types, including shortboards and longboards.
