More Than Ten Years of Experience
Be Surf School is more than just a surf school in Portugal. We represent a culture and a lifestyle. Connections between people and nature, people and the ocean and people with each other.
There is something different about starting your life-long surfing adventure with Be Surf School than starting it by yourself or with anyone else.
We are energized by the ocean and the lifestyle that surfing brings. We pass on that knowledge and energy through surfing programs that educate and empower our ‘students’. Into the life that they dream about.
Fun loving, healthy, easy-going, friendly and free.

We (my husband and I as part of a group) took 4 lessons over a week with BeSurf school in September '22 and had a great time. I'd never surfed before and have some health issues which mean I can struggle with physical activity. Beatriz and Pedro were amazing - they were super supportive and really helpful with tips and making sure we all had a great time. I was only trying surfing because my husband wanted to try it, but I've come away ready to surf again and looking at ways I can do it closer to home. Can't recommend these two enough!
Our family took a three day course with Beatriz and we had a wonderful time.☀️ Beatriz is a great teacher with a lot of experience and patience, a lovely person and passionate about what she does. ♥️ It was our first time learning how to surf and we had lots of fun together. We hope to be back soon and continue our surf experience with Beatriz🏄🏼♀️, the beautiful ocean 🌊 and Molly 🐶Thank you for this extraordinary holiday adventure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lovely dream team from Beatrice and sweet Molly! They take you on a journey of surfing 🌊 and make you feel part of the surfing family 🏄
Great surf lesson with a small group! Felt super safe as beginners and really appreciated that we got a spot on short notice!
Nice and friendly, Beatriz is great. She knows the surf spots inside out and is very careful at sea. She is also extremely honest and straightforward and she offers competitive rentals prices. Also, the size of her classes are reasonable which makes for a good experience.
We visited the shop to rent suits and boards. We got great advices for nearby spots and the staff war very helpful and friendly. Would defenetly go there again :)
Great teacher, great price. Just great!We had two classes here and Beatriz was always great and honest.Furthermore, besides having the best price in town, she also did not take advantage of us and refused to take us on a third day because the weather conditions were not good enough.Fully recommend!
If you plan to learn surfing, this is the best place - BeSurf. Beatriz took care about us so great. She was patient and engaged, spreading the surf spirit around. Always with us in the water giving hints and instructions. Despite she is a great instructor, who knows how to teach, she is loveley and helpful person. Good equipment and price. Totally recommended. See you next time Beatrize & Molly :)
We had a few lessons with Beatriz last summer and we loved it. She and her team were a lot of fun but also very supportive and motivational during the lessons, which when you are learning something new is so important.The vibe was great, the beach where the lessons toke place is beautiful and all the material is provided by her.I’m pretty sure we will go back.

Beatriz and Pedro were amazing surf coaches. Probably the best ones I've had so far. They were fun and you could feel the good vibes and the love for the ocean every minute. They always have an eye on you, taking care of the group and giving you good advice to get better every day! I had a lot of fun and I'll definitely come back! This trip and these guys made me want to surf even more than I wanted to before! Thanks so much.
Beatrice is a very professional teacher who will make time for you. This not to be expected from every surf school. She has a good eye for detail and provide you with great personal feedback. We had a great learning curve and we will come back for sure!
Beatriz the instructor it's very funny and passionate about what she's doing she loves staying between the waves and giving advices to the beginners it's a kind person and also pleasured in meeting new people.I suggest to contact her beacuse she knows how to make you enjoy the situation of surfing in the ocean
BeSurf is not just like any surf school in Portugal. Bea and her team are very friendly and highly competent in teaching how to ride the waves, esp for absolute beginners. The material and the service is top quality, and prices very fair. Go there no worries!
Beatriz was an amazing teacher. It was my girlfriend and I's first time surfing and she made us both feel safe and comfortable. She provided the boards and wet suits and met us at the beach for a great 2.5 hour surfing lesson. Her English was great as well and we were able to easily understand all her instructions and lessons. Highly recommend her surf school if you're in Milfontes!
I took a beginner level class at Beatriz's surf school, and it was amazing! She is a well-experienced and careful teacher, her excellent guide allowed me to enjoy my experience and make quick progress. Furthermore, the location is outstanding. I hope to come back soon!
A instrutora é muito simpática, profissional e sempre preocupada com a nossa segurança. Foi uma experiência divertida.
Para primeira experiência no surf, foi tudo o que podíamos esperar. Boa disposição, dedicação e segurança. A Beatriz e a Carolina foram ambas impecáveis professoras e também ficamos fãs da Molly!
