a) Discovering the beaches
Beaches are the highlight of Ericeira. If in the past people came to Ericeira advised by doctors who were aware of the high content of iodine, today tourists came looking for the beauty of the beaches surrounded by cliffs that protect them against winds and tides.
All our walking tours include a visit to the seafood tanks and allow you to experience the true way of life of the fishermen.
