FAQ

Questions about Things to do in Ericeira

What is the easiest first day in Ericeira?

Walk the old centre and harbour, choose one nearby beach, then plan a meal close to where you already are. Add surf or Foz do Lizandro only if conditions and transport make sense.

Can I do Ericeira without a car?

Yes for the centre, Praia dos Pescadores, Praia do Norte, Praia do Sul and many restaurants. A car or transfer helps for Foz do Lizandro, Sao Juliao, Ribamar and some surf plans.

How should I choose between beach, surf and food?

Start with the least flexible part of the day. Surf depends on conditions and lesson times; restaurants depend on bookings and opening hours; beach walks are easiest to move around.
