Praia da Parede Surf Spot Details: Your Complete Surf Guide & Travel Planner
Praia da Parede is a hidden gem located between the more popular surf spots of Carcavelos and São Pedro do Estoril. Although less exposed, it requires the right swell to come to life. When the conditions align, Praia da Parede offers long, rideable right-hand walls, making it a dream for regular-footers.
The take-off can be steep, with a slab-like start, but the wave itself is mellow, ideal for longboarders and stand-up paddleboarders. Since it’s less crowded than nearby Carcavelos and São Pedro, surfers can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere.
To access Praia da Parede, head to the coastal road between Carcavelos and São Pedro do Estoril, and enjoy a less crowded wave in a beautiful setting.
