Excellent conditions to enjoy sailing and windsurf
Praia da Luz is “blessed” by the well known Nortada, an offshore wind coming from the northwest quadrant and providing excellent conditions to practice such activities.
The Beach Hut Sailing centre, using only the latest equipment, has got a large selection of gear at your disposal, from initiation level up to advanced levels, and it is no doubt the right place to learn and improve your skills in these activities.
Beach Hut strives for safety
Our instructors will take care of rigging and guidance of the equipment and your safety. They are watchful and available with some helpful hints to improve and develop your skills.
Lifejackets are obligatory, both for children and for adults. We have wetsuits, harnesses, helmets and gloves available. Safety briefing is conducted before each activity, with indication of wind direction, sea conditions, sailing areas, safety boats, etc.
