Watersports

Vila Nova de Milfontes is a gateway to the Costa Vicentina — with surfing, kitesurfing, wing foiling and wind foiling when conditions suit, plus kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the Mira estuary.

Local schools and operators offer lessons, hire and advice for different experience levels. Surf sessions, estuary paddles and wind sports all depend on season, tide and weather — check before you go.

Return to your holiday house after a day on the water, then plan the next adventure from town.
