Ericeira is a parish and a fishing and seaside resort town on the west coast of Portugal, in the municipality of Mafra, about 35 km north-west of the centre of Lisbon. Its name originates from Ouriceira, which derives from Ouriço, the Portuguese name for a sea urchin, as seen on the coat of arms.

The Ribeira d'Ilhas beach, which routinely hosts a round of the World Surf Championship and is widely regarded as one of the best beaches in Europe[citation needed] for the practice of this sport, is located 2 km to the north of the city. It is a popular destination for holiday-makers and amateur surfers, as there are over 40 beaches with good surf in the area.
