During the 19th century, Ericeira became a favored retreat for Portuguese royalty and aristocracy, drawn by its stunning coastline and therapeutic sea air. The town gained prominence when it became the preferred summer destination for Queen Maria Pia of Savoy and other members of the royal court. It later played a pivotal role in Portuguese history. It was from Ericeira's Fisherman's Beach that King Manuel II, the last monarch of Portugal, went into exile following the Republican revolution.

Today, Ericeira is a well-preserved old town, with narrow cobblestone streets and traditional white-washed houses, world-class surf breaks and stunning beaches.
