This surf camp will take place in front of the Somo beach, in Cantabria, Spain. The Playa de Somo is located within the first natural reserve of surf in Spain. Somo is one of the surf meccas in Spain and one of the surf paradises in Cantabria. It meets excellent conditions for learning and surfing, with good waves all year round, suitable for all levels.

To talk about Somo beach means to talk about surfing. The first surfboards, wetsuits, surf shop, and surf school in Spain were born here. Thus, there is a great culture and tradition for surfing among local surfers. The beach of Somo is one of the most consistent beaches in Spain because it is oriented to the open sea and receives good waves throughout the year. It has more than seven kilometers of white sand and perfect beach brakes.

What is more, if there are no waves here, you probably will not find waves all over northern Spain. Somo is the idyllic place for learning and practicing surfing, paddle surfing, and bodyboarding. There is also a skate park.

Somo village is located within the municipality of Ribamontán al Mar. With the island of Santa Marina and Mouro in front and surrounded by beaches like Loredo, Langre, and Galizano, it has good restaurants where to enjoy traditional food.
