The surf portal The Inertia (theinertia.com) chose Ericeira as one of 10 best surfing spots in the country.
“A fishing village north of Lisbon, Ericeira has several surfing spots to choose from, like S. Lourenço, Coxos, Pedra Branca or Foz do Lizandro. These beaches are mostly uncrowded and a popular destination for surfers, especially off season”, highlights the website, which also underlines the reduced number o surfers at the beaches during the Winter.
“If you want to take a break from all that surfing and set foot on dry land just to change things up a bit, take a 15 minute trip to Mafra and treat yourself to some great traditional pastries. Be sure to eat at least once in a typical “marisqueira”, a type of seafood restaurant with several venues scattered around town and particularly when closer to the seaside”, advises The Inertia.
Besides Ericeira, the portal features Arrifana and Praia do Amado (Vicentina Coastline), Carcavelos, Praia do Norte (Nazaré), Peniche, Praia do Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz), Espinho, Sagres and Paúl do Mar (Madeira).
