Ericeira Surf Camp

Ericeira Surf Camp sits in the heart of Europe's only World Surfing Reserve—an 8km stretch of coastline blessed with over 20 world-class breaks including the legendary Ribeira d'Ilhas and Coxos. Former pro surfer Nuno Gonçalves founded the camp in 2005 after a life-changing Morocco surf trip, and his local knowledge runs deep. The camp operates its own certified surf school with Portuguese Surf Federation-accredited instructors. Whether you're catching your first whitewash or working on your cutbacks at Ribeira d'Ilhas (which hosts the annual Quicksilver Pro Portugal), Ericeira Surf Camp matches instruction to your level. Guided surf tours take experienced surfers to less-known gems that only locals know. What makes Ericeira Surf Camp work is the location. Private and shared rooms sit right in Ericeira's old town center—beaches are a 5-minute walk, restaurants and surf cafés are around the corner. Beyond surfing, the camp offers yoga, SUP on the Lizandro River, bike tours along the coastal cliffs, photo sessions, and massages.
