Ericeira

Ericeira stretches along Portugal’s Atlantic coastline in the Lisbon metropolitan area, and the sea has shaped it from a fishing settlement into one of Europe’s best-known surf towns. In the municipality of Mafra, its compact historic centre combines whitewashed houses, tiled façades and lanes descending towards the shore. In 2011, Ericeira became Europe’s first World Surfing Reserve, recognising a coast known for breaks including Ribeira d’Ilhas and Coxos. Fishing boats, seafood restaurants and surf schools still share the waterfront, giving the town an identity rooted in maritime work as well as international wave-riding culture.
