How did you like the accommodation?

     

The accommodation was perfect. Very clean, lots of common areas. A great place to stay as a lone traveller as the friendly staff encouraged extra openness between guests. Close to all local amenities.


How were the surf lessons?

     

Mixed experience. We learnt on a reef which meant the waves were easier but i think i would have preferred sand.

How did you like the accommodation?

     

Ericeira is a lovely town and there's lots of restaurants to choose from. The people are so welcoming and friendly. It's great being so close to the lots of beaches with so many different waves to surf.


How were the surf lessons?

     

The surf lessons were great and I always felt safe in the hands of the instructors. I have learnt a lot and feel as though I have improved. I had never surfed a reef break before but doing it with a surf school meant that I felt more confident and got good advice.

How did you like the accommodation?

     

The staff were friendly and eager to help with any questions we had. The accommodation was in a really good position, walking distance to the town and to several of the beaches. Having your own key meant that you can come and go as you please. There's a really spacious sitting room and a nice outdoor area too. They even have bikes that can be hired which are perfect for getting to one beach to the other.


How were the surf lessons?

     

Surf lessons were really good. Lots of help given to everyone from the instructors who were easy to talk too and full of helpful tips!

How did you like the accommodation?

     

Accommodation was great, even more so given the low cost.

Being off season there wasn't too many people there but the social area was still good fun and met some great people. Imagine in the summer when full it will be very good fun.

Location is great - easy to get to and very easy short walk into tow. There's a café next door which also sells take away beers which was very handy!

If you want a fantastic fish restaurant literally overhanging the sea, and don't mind paying a little more Furnas is the place to go. The waves were breaking on the rocks in front and spraying almost up to the windows. The rest of the bars and restaurants I went to were also good.

Didn't take any surf lessons. Drove round a load of the breaks, with the right conditions you'll get some fantastic waves in - if the swell swing round then it's only a 30-40 min drive South to beaches breaks that are working - so ideal spot.

Loathing in Las Vegas
Room Type: Shared - Mixed
Sleeps: 3

3 beds, 1 bunker with 2 beds, 1 individual bed, sea view, private washbasin, closet, heater or cold.
Each room in 55 Surf House offers a unique experience. At the Loathing in Las Vegas room the experience is obviously a psychedelic one and if you turn off the lights you can feel some glowing eyes in the dark. Not a reason to be afraid, ok? The idea is to elevate the fun factor to the maximum. Sweet dreams. And try to no spend too much at the slots…

Dog Town
Room Type: Private
Sleeps: 2

2 individual beds, sea view, private washbasin, closet, heater or cold.
At Dog Town, you already know that, the waves are made of concrete, but the boards are equally rad. The décor on this room appeals to skate lovers and offers a thousand possibilities to amazing selfies with all the little details you will find out in the room. It’s only lacking a half pipe but it was either that or the beds…

Jamaica
Room Type: Shared - Mixed
Sleeps: 4

4 beds, 2 bunkers with 2 beds each, private bathroom, sea view, private balcony, closet, heater or cold.
If there’s a room to relax, to let the sunshine in, this is the one. Jamaica of the great late Bob Marley is the theme and inspiration. And on those mattresses you can only feel good vibrations. There’s a private balcony on this room and a giant sea right in front of your eyes. And there’s a private bathroom.

Woodstock
Room Type: Private
Sleeps: 2

2 individual beds, sea view, private washbasin, private balcony, closet, heater or cold.
For those seeking peace, our Woodstock room is the right choice. Flowers on the hair and on the walls, harmony on the head and body and a perfect rest is what we guarantee to the guests of this Woodstock room.

Pirates
Room Type: Private
Sleeps: 3

3 beds, bunker, sea view, private washbasin, private balcony, closet, heater or cold
We got almost everything for the Pirates room, except Johnny Depp. But there’s a treasure map that reveals some of the secrets of this not at all desert island that is Ericeira. You can always find out where are you going to get lost next. And play Pirates if you will…

Beach Boys “Endless Summer”
Room Type: Private
Sleeps: 2

2 individual beds, sea view, private washbasin, private balcony, closet, heater or cold.
And at 55 surf house we had to have a room dedicated to the Endless Summer, to surf and to the sea. For the wave lovers, this is the perfect set: you can dream with the perfect swell, with all the tubes you will get and with Europe’s best surf. You can dream and then wake up and make all those dreams come true, of course, that’s why we are here.

The Kings
Room Type: Shared - Mixed
Sleeps: 6

6 beds, 3 bunkers with 2 beds each, private bathroom, sea view, closet, heater or cold.
We had to have a room dedicated to king of surf, kelly Slater, sk8, Tony Walk and Bodyboard, Mike Stewart. For the wave & Sk8 lovers, this is the perfect set: you can dream with the perfect swell, with all the tubes, maneuvers, you will get in Ericeira with Europe’s best surf and fell the vibe of the best. You can dream and then wake up and make all those dreams come true, of course, that’s why we are here.

Season

Best time to go depends on your level above. July, August & September are the peak tourist months.


This is where you surf Europe's best coast line and let the fun begin.There are over 12 surf breaks along the Ericeira coast, with different options for all standards. With so much choice you'll feel like a kid in a sweet shop! The area was introduced in the Stormriders Surf Guide to Europe with the heading "Enter the Heartland".

World Surf Reserve
In 2011 it was awarded the title of 'World Surf Reserve', there are only 2 other places in the world that share the title: Santa Cruz, US and Manly, Australia.

If it is your first surfing holiday to Ericeira then head straight to Foz do Lizandro and Sao Juliao beaches south of town, they are perfect beginner and intermediate surf spots. Closer to town is Praia do Sul. Another great beginner beach breaks. All best at mid tide but surfable at high and low tide also.

For Intermediates you have the reliable and safe reef break Ribeira d'Ilhas, which host the WSL World qualifying series surf championships every year. And for the more adventurous you have the world class Coxos. That's just naming a few, there are too many surf breaks to mention here!

Don't forget to explore further up the coast - 25 minutes away is Santa Cruz and an hour away is Peniche, home to the World renowned Supertubos and host of the Rip Curl Pro since 2009. 30 minutes south of Lisbon is the Cascais coast with the famous Praia do Guincho surf beach. And when north winds are blowing you can venture further south towards Carcevelos beach and the other surf spots along the Lisbon coast.
