The hostel
Check the waves from our rooftop, enjoy our skate ramp, our fully furnished kitchen, our pool, our private rooms and dorms, and the walking-distance from our other facilities and the beach, in Costa da Caparica, the favorite destination for the Lisbon surf community, a town where everyone knows everyone, surfs together and parties together. You will feel like home.
Every time you eat with us, you’re tasting years of hard work, and commitment to good food.
We see our guests as guests to a party and we are the hosts. Our daily job is to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little better. In our restaurant, you will find a differentiated and comfortable space, fresh products and ingredients, authentic cuisine, dishes and drinks made to perfection.People come and go, but every once in a while, you meet people out of nowhere who just vibe with you and become everything you needed. People that you immediately realize will stay in your life forever. The ones you just met and soon feel like you could talk for hours, the ones you can laugh and cry with and even enjoy a comfortable silence.
These people are your tribe.
Love them fiercely.
Uniting tribes that have never crossed paths since 2018.
Why surf with us?
“After 29 years, 100,000 enthusiastic visitors and maybe around 1 million waves surfed, we know what true enthusiasm looks like.
We share our passion for Surfing since 1994 and we are the oldest and most prestigious Surf School in Costa da Caparica. With instructors certified by the Portuguese Surfing Federation and customized courses, we are here to offer you the best surfing experience possible.”
Miguel Inácio
Dr. Bernard Surf Center
And what is it like exactly ?
We offer lessons for all levels (basics, technique, style), quality boards (soft tops and hard tops), and we teach you everything : security rules, surf etiquettes, the types of boards, how to read the forecast and the waves, stand up on your board, generate speed, turn, pump, bottom to top surfing, rail to rail, frontside and backside, duck diving, the turtle roll, and maneuvers like the cutback or the floater.
About Costa da Caparica
An authentic part of Portugal, here we find the perfect waves and conditions for learning regardless of the level of each student.
Costa da Caparica is known for its consistent surfing and high-quality waves, and there is no shortage of options for surfers arriving in this area.
The waves are gentle and suitable for beginners during the summer and get bigger during the spring and fall.
Practice, explore, absorb, enjoy, live!
We believe that surfing is more than a sport: it’s a lifestyle. We want you to experience it with us here, in one of the most beautiful surfing destinations on the planet, and, in the end, to come to the conclusion that you have not only been left with better surfing knowledge, but also with memories for life, new friends and the feeling that every day should be like this.

SUSTAINABILITY
The Sea is our home. We’re leaving it better than we found it.
We make a commitment to our ocean, beaches and community. They are our playground, our home and our livelihood. Let’s leave them better than we found them. This means that all our employees, friends and guests help with recycling and other actions in favor of the environment. Every week there are cleaning and recycling activities on the beaches and Dr. Bernard equipment to ensure that our home remains as it should be.
Destroying the waves does, not destroying the beaches.
