“We'll all be planning that route

we're gonna take real soon.

We're waxing down our surfboards.

We can't wait for June.

We'll all be gone for the summer.”

Ericeira
– “SURFIN’ USA” by The Beach Boys, 1963

he town of Ericeira, about 22 miles northwest of
Lisbon, is probably the best-kept secret on the Atlantic
coast of Portugal. Considered a surf Mecca, this small
T fishing village is the only European member of the
World Surfing Reserves and boasts year-round surfing on a diverse
variety of waves at both beach and reef breaks.
