About this Spot
Costa de Caparica is an amazing kitesurf spot on the beautiful coast of Portugal. Located just 30 km south of Lisbon, it is one of the most popular spots in the country, with a variety of conditions to suit all levels of kitesurfers.
The spot is ideal for beginners as the waters are shallow and the wind is consistent and steady. The spot is also sheltered from the open ocean, so waves are not a problem. The waves that do come in are small and fun, making it the perfect place for freestyle kiting.
The best time to visit Costa de Caparica is between April and October. During the summer months, the temperature is warm and the water temperature is pleasant.
When you’re not kitesurfing, there are plenty of activities to enjoy in the area. You can explore the beautiful beaches and cliffs, as well as the local restaurants and bars. There are also some great outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking.
