Ericeira

Ericeira, located along the Portuguese Atlantic coast, approximately 35 km northwest of Lisbon, is globally acclaimed as a surfing destination. Recognized as a World Surfing Reserve, the first one in Europe, it is well-appreciated for its consistent swells throughout the year and diverse surfing spots such as the Pedra Branca, Reef, Ribeira d'Ilhas and Coxos. Beyond the thriving surf scene, Ericeira charms its visitors with picturesque white and blue-hued traditional houses, narrow cobblestone streets, lush vineyards, and staggering sea views. Renowned for its fresh seafood, restaurants and seaside cafes serve the catch of the day in traditional Portuguese style that food lovers would immensely enjoy. The town’s relaxed atmosphere combined with its local cultural richness make it a must-see destination for travelers wanting to explore the genuine side of Portugal.

It’s very safe, I have been coming here since I was born and never heard of any problems. It used to be a very humble town, not it’s a very touristic town. Always very safe and friendly to everyone who wants to visit
