About Ericeira
Ericeira, Portugal: Surf, Soul, and Seamless Remote Work
Ericeira is more than just a surf town—it's a lifestyle. Perched on Portugal’s stunning west coast, this charming fishing village-turned-surf haven is perfect for remote workers who crave a workation filled with salt air, sunsets, and slow living. Home swapping here with Swaphouse gives you a chance to dive into authentic Portuguese life while staying connected and productive. Instead of splurging on Airbnbs or hotels, you can live in someone’s fully-equipped home—for free—and make Ericeira your temporary home office with an ocean breeze.
Remote Work Meets Coastal Rhythm
Imagine sipping espresso from your balcony with waves crashing in the background, knocking out a few emails, and then heading to the beach for a surf break or beach walk. That’s the Ericeira flow. Thanks to Swaphouse, you can home swap into a place with solid Wi-Fi, a proper desk setup, and everything else a remote worker needs. There’s a growing community of digital nomads here, so you’ll find coworking cafés, meetups, and like-minded folks balancing spreadsheets with surfboards. It’s the kind of place where productivity and peace go hand in hand.
Local Living with a Laid-Back Twist
When you swap homes in Ericeira, you're not just visiting—you’re stepping into a rhythm of life that’s both relaxing and enriching. Browse the local markets for fresh seafood and produce, learn to cook bacalhau the traditional way, or strike up a conversation with a neighbor over a glass of vinho verde. In the evenings, wander down the cobbled streets to find hidden seafood restaurants or live Fado music floating out of cozy taverns. You’ll feel more like a local than a tourist—especially when you return "home" to a space that feels like your own.
Best Time to Work and Wander
Ericeira shines from late spring to early autumn, with plenty of sunshine and surfable waves. June through September is perfect for those who love warm weather and lively energy, while shoulder seasons (April-May, October) offer quieter streets and great conditions for a longer, more peaceful workation. Getting here is a breeze—just a 45-minute drive from Lisbon, with easy airport transfers or rental car options. Whether you're coming from across Portugal or from another country entirely, it's a convenient and magical spot to base your next swap.
