Ziggy’s
Surf
House
is
an
amazing
place.
I
don’t
even
know
where
to
start.
How
about
at
the
top
with
the
owner
João?
Every
single
day
he
puts
his
heart
and
soul
into
this
establishment
and
bends
over
backwards
for
guests
to
make
sure
their
expectations
are
being
met.
He
understands
service
and
communication.
Every
morning
starts
with
João
bringing
in
fresh
breakfast
foods,
like
tomatoes
from
his
garden,
freshly
made
bread
and
fruit
from
local
shops.
He
also
provides
you
with
the
surf/beach
report
for
the
day.
João
grew
up
here
and
he
knows
every
place
to
lay
in
the
sun,
dine,
surf,
explore
and
discover
around
the
area.
Ziggy’s
Surf
House
location
is
perfect,
it’s
literally
a
two
minute
walk
from
multiple
beaches.
There’s
several
restaurants
within
a
5
min
walk,
and
even
more
if
you’re
willing
to
walk
10–15
mins!
If
you
want
to
take
the
ferry
to
Lisbon,
and
explore
this
beautiful
city,
there’s
a
free
bus
that
can
be
taken
from
the
beach
to
the
docks.
From
there
it’s
1.75€
to
get
across.
(Prices
may
vary
at
different
seasons)
Ferry
runs
from
7AM
-
5AM
(or
close
to
that)
it’s
a
fun,
inexpensive,
and
extremely
scenic
little
boat
ride.
Let’s
talk
about
the
name
of
this
surf
house..it
comes
from
the
one
and
only
Mr.
Ziggy!
You’ll
see
his
picture
painted
on
the
house
along
with
all
the
other
cool
paintings
and
landscapes
around
the
pool
area
which
local
artists
have
contributed.
Ziggy
is
an
English
Bull
Terrier
and
he’s
the
kindest,
most
playful
dog.
He
loves
to
lay
in
the
sun,
play
fetch,
and
watch
you
swim
in
the
pool.
Him
and
João
are
what
makes
this
place
special
and
unique.
Lastly,
the
people
I
have
met
there
during
my
experience
were
all
incredible.
People
from
all
over
the
world!
It’s
so
refreshing
to
be
exposed
to
different
cultures,
languages
and
ways
of
life
from
intelligent
and
kind
people
who
share
the
same
mindset
of
exploring
and
creating
new
lasting
friendships.
I
could
talk
for
hours
about
my
experience
here
but
seriously...if
you’ve
read
this
far
down,
go
ahead
and
book
your
spot
here
already
before
someone
else
takes
it!!
