Ericeira has beaches to start on and waves for those who already know how, and the schools choose each day the one that fits the sea. Surf Riders, in the centre since 2016, gives group lessons for beginners and intermediates for €40, and a week of five lessons for €200. You meet at their shop at Rua do Carmo, 33A, and from there you go to the beach of the day.
