Any surf holiday to Europe should include Portugal, and any trip to Portugal deserves a stop in Ericeira. Surfing is the lifeblood of this small town, and some people even say that Ericeira is the “jewel in the crown of Portuguese surf.” The town exudes surf vibes from all angles, and a huge reason for this is that it has some of the most consistent conditions in all of Europe.
The water is chilly, but surfers still easily outnumber the beachgoers here. Even travelers who have no intention of surfing while in Portugal usually find themselves signing up for a lesson or full-on surf camp as soon as they step foot in Ericeira.
