Surf Cantabria
1. Where

Somo beach, Cantabria. España.

”Come discover infinite Cantabria. Come meet us and discover the magic of surfing with the No. 1 surf school in Spain. We will wait for you”

First surf reserve in Spain

Somo Beach is located within the first natural surf reserve in Spain, due to the quality and variety of its waves, being one of the country’s surfing meccas and one of the most consistent surf spots, receiving good waves throughout the year. With more than 7 km of white sand and perfect “beachbrakes” ideal for surfers of all levels.

Surfing pioneers

To talk about Somo beach is to talk about the history of surfing in Spain. The first surfboards, the first wetsuits, the first surf shop and of course, the first surf school in Spain, Escuela Cantabra de Surf, created by David “Capi” Garcia in 1991, were born here and there is a great culture and surfing tradition among local surfers.

Surfing in infinite Cantabria

Cantabria is a natural paradise where every day you can see a different Cantabria, with its beaches, its mountains, its landscapes, its towns, its food and its people. It is also a paradise for surfers and one of the favorite destinations chosen by surfers to spend unforgettable surfing holidays. Somo, within the municipality of Ribamontan al Mar, is a welcoming town, with very good accommodation options, good restaurants and well connected to the other side of the bay with Santander, the capital of Cantabria and possibly one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
