Visite to the fishing village of Ericeira with our tour guide. You will have time to lunch in the historical center. Ericeira (Portuguese pronunciation: [eɾiˈsɐjɾɐ]) is a civil parish and seaside community on the western coast of Portugal (in Mafra municipality, located 35km northwest of the center of Lisbon, about 45km by road) considered the surfing capital of Europe.[1][2] It is also one of only two European spots[3] among the World Surfing Reserves because of its exceptional coastline conditions. Ericeira’s population in 2011 was estimated in 10,260,[4] covering an area of 12 km2.[5]

Ericeira was a popular summer retreat for many of Lisbon’s families in the 1940s and 1950s. Today, it is a popular destination for local and visiting tourists, as well as surfers from around the world (owing to the forty beaches with good conditions in the area).

Visit the first surf reserve in europe! The Ericeira World Surfing Reserve is a world-class surf zone encompassing approximately 8 km of coastline. It contains a high density of outstanding surf breaks, including iconic breaks such as Ribeira d’Ilhas and Coxos, among others.

“It is a homage to all local fishermen that over the centuries have respected and praised this beautiful ocean. It is also an assumption of the responsibility for its preservation, making sure that this valuable universal heritage will continue to be enjoyed in its entirety by future generations, just as it was for the pioneers of surf in Portugal, who were awed by its discovery.”
