The village of Ericeira is just one hour and a half bus trip away from Lisbon (bus leaves from Campo Grande station). Therefore, the number one advantage it provides to travelers is its proximity to the capital of Portugal. The beach is generally described by people as a nice place to be, particularly for fishing and above all for surfing (favorable winds and waves have been the reason why World Surfing Championships have been held here for more than twenty years). It is small and pretty and also liked by amateurs of concerts and parties. If tourists are looking for a lively vacation, the nice beach of Ericeira will suit such a preference. It is true that it can get a bit too crowded, but if it is fun you’re aiming it, you are sure to find it here – doubly.
