Ericeira is a charming, traditional fishing village where the deep-rooted connection to the sea is evident in every corner. Surfers from all over the world flock here, drawn by the quality of its waves and the warm local surf culture. The village’s authenticity, rich history, and beautiful coastal views make it the perfect place for any surfer. Ericeira, the only World Surfing Reserve in Europe, delivers some of the most consistent and high-quality waves in the world. You’ll find world-class breaks, including world-famous surf spots like Foz do Lizandro, a mellow beach break with left and right peaks and Ribeira D’Ilhas, a long right-hand point break over reef and cobblestones, each offering unique conditions for surfers. While the area is known for its predominance of left-hand breaks, you’ll also find a few right-handers scattered throughout the region. In fact, Ericeira is arguably the area with the highest concentration of surf spots in all of Portugal, with many breaks located within just a few kilometers of each other.
