YOU'RE GONNA LOVE Ericeira
In 2011 Ericeira was named as an official World Surfing Reserve by the Save the Waves coalition. By then it was only the second World Surfing Reserve in the world, and until today still the only one in Europe. It was chosen because of its high quality and consistent waves, special environmental characteristics, and the town’s significant culture and surf history.

We spontaneously needed accommodation late at night on March 3rd. At 11:00 PM, we called the WOT Ericeira Surf Hostel and were greeted warmly by a gentleman. He told us that checking in at that hour was no problem and that it was possible until 2:00 AM. We were able to park our car safely at the hostel without any issues. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the receptionist. The price offered to us was the same as on the website. We booked a private "Garden Double Ensuite" room with two single beds for €70 per night. The room was rather minimalist and lacked storage space for clothes, towels, and other belongings. However, the room was very clean. The bed was comfortable, and we had a peaceful and restful sleep. Breakfast and drinks were quite expensive (relatively speaking, for Portugal). The hostel has a pool, a beach volleyball court, and a small skate park. Inside, there was a pool table and some couches and seating areas for relaxing. Outside, there was also a ping-pong table. You certainly won't get bored. Checkout is until 11:00 AM, but the lady at reception was kind enough to tell us there was no need to rush (we were running a bit late). I found the price a little high for a hostel, and it was the same as a regular hotel. So far, it's also been the most expensive accommodation on our Portugal trip. Therefore, I'm deducting one star for the price and the room amenities.
