Nestled in the heart of the village, the Ericeira Municipal Market is a vibrant hub where tradition meets modernity. From early morning, the market showcases the freshest fish and seafood, reflecting the rich maritime heritage of this picturesque fishing town. The upper floors offer a delightful array of flowers, fruits, and vegetables sourced from the nearby Saloia region, alongside a selection of local handicrafts that capture the essence of the area. Beyond its role as a marketplace, the Ericeira Municipal Market hosts cultural events such as showcookings and tastings, inviting visitors to experience the authentic flavours of the region. Looking ahead, plans are underway to revitalise the market, introducing leisure spaces and a panoramic terrace that will offer breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, enhancing its appeal as a gathering place for both locals and visitors.
Renan left a career in finance in Brazil and followed love to Copenhagen. There, another love found him—baking. He spent 12 years learning the craft, hands in dough, heart in the oven. The ocean, always part of him, called him back south. In Santo Isidoro—right in the heart of Ericeira’s World Surfing Reserve—a little miracle happened: a chance to open a bakery, with barely any money but all the passion in the world. He bakes the old way—by hand, with time, and deep respect for traditional sourdough methods. It’s a slow-growing dream. And the bread? It tells the story—warm, real, and more delicious every day. You’ll find it next to Vizinha Coffee and the local vegetable store at Largo Santo Isidoro 4, Santo Isidoro — the perfect spot to enjoy fresh bread and baked goods with amazing coffee.
Quinta de Sant’Ana is a beautiful, family-run winery nestled in the hills just a 20-minute drive from Ericeira—perfect for a dreamy day trip.

As a certified organic production and small family business, they pour care and sustainability into every bottle. Their wine tastings are a true treat, offering elegant, expressive wines that reflect the soul of the region. Here at Ocean Huts, we’re proud to have their wines bottled, bringing a little taste of Quinta de Sant’Ana to your stay.
