World class right hander - praia da Arrifana Surf - Portugal road trip 2019 - Aljezur Portugal

Spot nº 23 from Portugal to Morocco is a world class right hander in Arrifana, near Aljezur Portugal. Time for an Algarve road trip! I fell in love with this beach 22 years ago when I first visited Portugal. The moment I visited the place I decided I was going to move from Belgium to Portugal to live in a beautiful country with surf like this.

This weekend my girlfriend and I decided to go back and spend my birthday weekend there in a hostel with a skate bowl. Time for our next road trip down to the south of Portugal. I couldn't ask for more. Perfect company, screamers in Arrifana and a sunset skate session in my private bowl.

Arrifana Beach | Surfing in Portugal


The beach of Praia da Arrifana is inside the Vicentine Coast Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Praia da Arrifana has been designated a blue Flag beach (2012).
The beach is 6.0 miles (9.7 km) south south west of the village of Aljezur, and is 71.0 miles (114.3 km) north west, by road, from the regions capital of Faro.The sand on Praia da Arrifana is of pale golden fine sand and is approximately 500 meters long.
The beach is backed by tall cliffs which afford the beach some protection from the ravages of the Atlantic Ocean. Even so, this is a very popular beach for surfing and body surfing.

Sixteen kilometres north of Carrapateira lies the village of Aljezur, which is considerably larger than Carrapateira and probably one of the prettiest and liveliest towns on the western Algarve. From here buses run to a couple of outstanding beaches, the largest of which is Praia da Arrifana, ten kilometres to the south west.

Arrifana village, which spreads itself over the cliffs above the beach, has been turned largely over to tourism, although development has been restrained and it has maintained a strong sense of localness. Go past the half dozen cafes, bars and hostels directly overlooking (but vastly higher than) the beach and you will come to the remains of a ruined fort.

The beach itself, which is reached via a torturously steep single-lane road, recently banned to vehicles, is sandy, sheltered and hugely popular with both surfers and swimmers. There is a café and toilets at the base of the cliff and ample parking at the top. There are a couple of options for staying overnight at Arrifana and a well-equipped campsite just 8km further north in the village of Monte Clerigo.

Aljezur (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐɫʒɨˈzuɾ]) is a municipality in Portugal. The population in 2011 was 5,884,[1] in an area of 323.50 km².[2] The municipality comprises 4 parishes, and is located within the district of Faro.[3] The word is derived from the Arabic word Aljuzur (الجزر), the plural of island.
