Surf lovers in our country don’t have to go too far to enjoy the best waves, as the northern beaches that meet the Atlantic Ocean are one of the best options for spending a few days practising this sport.
One of the most popular surfing destinations is Cantabria, which offers perfect beaches for surfing, such as Berria beach, near the municipality of Santoña. If you’re in the mood for a good adrenaline rush, dive into its waters and enjoy its strong waves!
Its great surfing potential is due especially to its location, which exposes it continuously to the direction of the squalls, providing the beach with regular waves throughout the year. In addition, the area has different breaks that offer waves for all types of surfers, from beginners to professionals.
The environmental quality of the beach has led the European Community to award it the Blue Flag. However, we must warn you that it is not a very safe place to swim if you don’t enter with your board.
In addition, Berria also offers you a beautiful natural environment, with more than two kilometres of white sand between Mount Brusco and the Buciero massif. In the fishing village of Santoña you can enjoy a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel at home, although if you prefer a faster city pace you can reach Bilbao or Santander in about 30 minutes by car.
As you probably know, Cantabria is one of the regions with the best green landscapes in Spain, so you can discover thousands of magical spots every day, that is, if you are able to leave the water behind!
