Surf Tonel
Hidden between the west and south coast you’ll find the beautiful beach Tonel. In Sagres ‘ the end of the world’ and in my opinion, a must-visit even when it’s not good for surfing. I personally believe every beach is the end of the world. But In Sagres this saying feels a little more real. Between the big cliffs and next to the fortress it’s a very pretty place to catch some waves. With the surf guide mission we will hit Tonel at the right time and right tides. Today we get a super fun winter surf in Tonel.
