OVERVIEW

Ericeira sits on a rocky Atlantic coast north of Lisbon, with a compact centre of white and blue houses, small squares and seafood restaurants. Beaches and surf breaks extend along the cliffs on both sides of town. Fishing remains visible beside a highly developed surf scene.

Conditions suit a wide range of surfers, though several breaks require experience and local knowledge. Coastal walks and seafood provide alternatives when the waves are poor. The centre is lively in summer but retains more local character than a purpose built resort. Spending time around coast also brings cliffs into view, adding a distinct second layer to the visit.
