Ericeira

Ericeira is Europe's only World Surfing Reserve, and the designation is well-earned. This whitewashed fishing village 45 minutes north of Lisbon packs an absurd density of quality breaks into a short stretch of coast — from the heavy slabs of Coxos to the beginner-friendly Foz do Lizandro. The cobblestone streets, fresh seafood restaurants, and affordable cost of living have made it a magnet for digital nomad surfers. Portugal's consistent Atlantic swells mean you can surf year-round.
