About Ericeira
Come to Ericeira, a captivating and vibrant community on the western coast of Portugal. Once a traditional fishing village, Ericeira has evolved into a must-see destination for surfers seeking the perfect wave. But Ericeira offers so much more than just great surf. Here, you’ll experience an authentic fishing village with a rich cultural heritage that has captivated visitors for generations.
Ericeira offers the best of both worlds, combining the timeless allure of a traditional fishing culture with the cool, relaxed vibe of the surfing community that flocks here every year. The tides here are among the best in the world for surfers, making Ericeira a reference point for the sport. But even if you’re not into surfing, Ericeira is a wonderful place to explore, with narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and colorful fishing boats that offer a glimpse into an authentic way of life.
If you’re looking for a unique, off-the-beaten-path destination, Ericeira is the place for you. Tucked away on Portugal’s western coast just a 40-minute drive from Lisbon, this charming village offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of city life.
