About
More Than Ten Years of Experience
It is in the heart of the Alentejo Coast, at the entrance of Vila Nova de Milfontes, that you will find BE Surf School. Be Surf is a project that is born out of respect for nature and animals. It was when Molly appeared in my life, and the beach being our favorite place to be, that I set out to move forward with this long-thought idea.
We are a team passionate about surfing, which not only relies on the technique and knowledge of the sea, but also with an enormous spirit of companionship. We offer differentiated classes, ranging from classes for beginners, evolution training, adapted surf sessions. We also make customized surf, sup and skiming programs and provide all the technical material for their practice.
Be Surf offers a whole set of fun possibilities, to create unforgettable moments and experiences, always in the company of our mascot, Molly, in this paradisaical place, where we can enjoy the perfect combination of sea, river and mountains. This is therefore a project, which we see as much more than a business. It was the way we found to make our surfer family even bigger!
We are dedicated to finding the best, fun and safest waves daily, for the ultimate learn to surf experience. Our beaches are the best to surf in Alentejo, you will learn in waist deep water with easy to ride small waves. At the Be Surf School & Shop, we also have everything you’ll need for a perfect day at the beach, including surf boards, bikes, stand-up paddle boards, skimboards, board repairs and more.

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!read more
