There is no train. The last bus back to Lisbon leaves around nine, which catches out day trippers.\r\nDo I need a wetsuit in summer? | Yes. The Atlantic here is 15 to 19 degrees all year, and a 3\/2 is standard in August. In winter it is a 4\/3 with boots.\r\nIs a surf camp worth it? | For most people, yes. \u20ac350 to \u20ac600 a week bundles the bed, board hire, lessons, transfers to the right break for the conditions, and usually most meals \u2014 which is cheaper than assembling it yourself.\r\nWhat are percebes? | Goose barnacles, prised off these rocks at low tide by people working between waves. They cost \u20ac40 to \u20ac60 a kilo, which makes sense once you have watched how they are harvested.\r\nIs there anything to do if I do not surf? | The clifftop walk, the harbour, Mafra's palace and library fifteen minutes inland, and Sintra under an hour away.
