Book a Photoshoot
in Ericeira

Photoshoots in Ericeira start from €310, with most one- to two-hour packages between €310 and €450 depending on the duration, the number of edited images and how many spots you want to link together. Ericeira is about forty minutes from Lisbon, so a photographer travelling out may add a small travel fee. Edited galleries usually arrive within about a week.

The harbour at Praia dos Pescadores with its slipway and coloured boats, the blue-trimmed white lanes around Largo da Misericórdia, the clifftop miradouros above Praia do Sul, the surf amphitheatre at Ribeira d'Ilhas, and the river mouth at Foz do Lizandro, where the water spreads into a mirror at low tide. All of them are within a few minutes of each other.

Everything faces west, so sunset is the hour and the cliffs hold colour long after the sun drops. In summer the nortada picks up through the afternoon and the wind is real, moving hair, dresses and sand; mornings are calmer, though a low sea fog can sit on the coast in early summer and clear by ten. September and early October are the sweet spot.

Yes, and it works best as a backdrop rather than the subject: you are photographed on the rocks or the terrace above while the sets roll in behind you. The swell is biggest from October to March, when Ribeira d'Ilhas and Coxos draw serious surfers and contests. Bring layers, expect spray, and stay off the wet rock — the shore break there is genuinely dangerous.
