Surf Camps like no Other!

At Star Surf Camps, we’re all about sharing the love and stoke of surfing—especially with those learning to surf. We’re a small, independent surf camp run by surfers who have spent years chasing waves and soaking up the surf lifestyle. Fifteen years ago, we set up our first surf camp and we’ve been creating unforgettable surf camp experiences ever since!

Join the Star Surf Camps Experience


Picture yourself waking up to the sound of waves, spending your days learning to surf, and your evenings laughing with new friends. At Star Surf Camps, every day is an adventure—whether you’re riding your first wave, exploring nearby coastal towns, or just soaking up the laid-back surf camp vibes. We’re here to help you learn, grow, and most importantly, have fun! Our surf camps are about more than just surfing; they’re about creating moments that stay with you long after your surf camp experience ends. So, grab your surfboard (or let us provide one!), embrace the adventure, and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!

HolidaySolo. Very cool place. Dont worry to come alone, you get to meet people so easily. Friendly surf teachers. It doesn’t matter if you are a party person or someone who just wants to chill – there is something for everyone. Rooms: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Location: 5/5. Noteworthy details: Rent yourself a bike to reach beach and cafés even quicker ;)

We're all About
Making Memories

Group Surf Trips


At Star Surf Camps, we believe there is nothing better than sharing experiences with mates. What could be better than surfing all day before kicking back in the evening with a few beers, sharing a surf camp experience full of good times, great waves, and happy memories.

Travelling and surfing with your pals, uni group or social club is a guaranteed way to multiply your stoke and can often make the whole surf trip easier and, of course, more affordable.
