Ericeira is one of Europe's top remote work destinations. The combination of reliable internet, affordable cost of living, surf breaks, and a thriving international community makes it ideal for digital nomads and remote workers.
Internet: Most accommodations have fiber optic internet (100–500 Mbps). Portugal's 4G/5G coverage is excellent as a backup.
Coworking: Coastal Collective is the hub of the remote work community - coworking, events, and networking all in one. Kelp is a modern surf-and-work space with fast internet and good coffee. Hurley and Organic Way double as cowork-friendly cafés. Several other cafés are also laptop-friendly - Balagan, Dear Rose, and others welcome remote workers.
Community: Over 1,000 remote workers and digital nomads live in Ericeira. There are regular meetups, founder dinners, and community events. The community page has more details on getting connected.
Visa: EU citizens can live and work freely. Non-EU citizens can apply for Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa (D8), which allows you to live in Portugal for up to a year if you earn at least €3,040/month from remote work.
