MORE INFO
Ericeira has moved from surf town to polished lifestyle destination. It remains smaller and calmer than Lisbon, but it now has a visible remote-work scene, good cafes, coworking options, and strong appeal for people who want ocean routines. Costs have risen, especially in summer, but the combination of safety, scenery, and access to Lisbon makes it highly attractive for long-stay travelers.
