Beaches
As well as the small Praia dos Pescadores in the heart of town, there are three beaches within
walking distance of the centre. Praia do Sul , also called Praia da Baleia, is easiest to get to
and has a protected pool for children. Praia do Norte (also called Praia do Algodio) and Praia
de São Sebastião lie to the north. Some 5km north is unspoilt Praia de São Lourenço , while Praia
Foz do Lizandro , a big bite of beach backed by a small car park and a couple of restaurants,
is 3km south.

Activities
The big attraction in Ericeira is surfing . Serious aficionados congregate 3km north of town
at Praia da Ribeira d'Ilhas , a World Qualifying Series (WQS) site and frequent host to Por-
tuguese national surfing championships; most amateurs will find the waves at the nearer
Praia de São Sebastião challenging enough.
