Why you'll love sup in North Portugal!
West Portugal Overview
West Portugal offers a fantastic option for families, just a few hours from the UK and most major European cities. With fantastic conditions for a range of abilities, amazing luxury accommodation, beautiful landscapes, rich historical sites and a range of other activities for everyone to enjoy, West Portugal has it all.
The area is home to the Lima River that gives the area a rich natural beauty with green countryside and a rugged coastline. Head north from Ponto and discover impressive scenery and excellent conditions for a wide range of watersports. One of the best spots in the region for SUPing is the area of Cabedelo where the quiet waters of the Lima River meet the more challenging Atlantic waters and the harbour of Viana do Castelo provides a variety of different conditions for all skill levels.
