The Salty Pelican is a place to be happy. A place to feel like your own... a place to feel like home... it’s an entire experience consisting of everything we love: surf, yoga, sun, sea, salt, adventures, good people, good times and good vibes. So kick-up your feet... grab a cold sangria and really enjoy the spectacular BBQ sunset dinners here. With over 300 days of sun per year, you spend most of your time outdoors, even in winter.
We are located at the perfect spot, just 500m walk from both Ericeira central and the main beach and a few minutes' walk from the main bus station in Ericeira. In town you will find a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, charming regional architecture and picturesque cafe-lined squares that await your discovery and also daily long walks along the stunning coastline. The Salty Pelican has a seaview deck where you can lounge about all day in our comfy beanbags and sun loungers right by the outdoor swimming pool. Enjoy a good book or just relax with a refreshing sangria and good tasty food from our poolside restaurant. In the evenings the sea view deck is a good place to socialise after an active day of sun and surf with some relaxing music and the most magical sea view sunsets.

- Surf Lessons
After breakfast you have the option to head out to the beach for our morning surf lesson. Our surf school is run by a team of certified instructors who follow a very unique approach in teaching. They will make sure that you learn the proper surf techniques and have loads of fun while doing it. The unique geography of our location means we not only have rideable waves almost every day of the year but that we can almost always find a wave to suit everyone.

Every Monday and Thursday we organise a hike along the Ericeira cliffs before sunset, something that you'll never forget whilst enjoying the peace and serenity. At the end we will practice meditation right on the sand at a picturesque beach, small snacks and wine to finish. It will probably be the highlight of your week here ;-) This activity is an optional extra and not included in the package price but is a MUST whilst in Ericeira.
