Family Surf Camp Cantabria, Spain

Cantabria

The Family Surf Camp

Outer Reef Cantabria is on Spain's northern coast, surrounded by green countryside and close to wide Atlantic beaches known for consistent surf. It's a quieter, more spacious part of Spain, ideal for families who want to settle into an easy rhythm of surf, rest and time outdoors together.

The camp is an open, outdoor space with room to surf, play, eat together and switch off in the evenings, with a pool and plenty of nature around it. Kids' surf lessons run here, and sessions are grouped by level on the beach to keep them safe and supportive. If you have any questions about minimum ages, please get in touch and we'll help.

The camp is open from May to September.
Family Surf Holidays in Northern Spain

Beyond the beach, Cantabria offers huge variety. One day you might be surfing consistent Atlantic beach breaks, the next hiking through the green mountains of the Picos de Europa or cycling along the rugged coastline. The weekly plan stays flexible, giving you the freedom to join in as much or as little as you like.

This part of northern Spain is defined by contrast. White sandy beaches sit alongside rolling green hills, while historic towns, coastal villages and cultural landmarks add depth to the experience. From medieval streets and ancient cave art to iconic architecture like El Capricho de Gaudí, there’s plenty to explore between surf sessions.

Surf Courses

Short Course

A lighter option designed for guests who want a quick introduction or a refresher during their stay. This course includes a small number of structured group sessions with theory, making it ideal if you want to try surfing or fit sessions around other activities at camp.

Basic Course

The most popular option for guests looking for a balanced surf week. With regular group sessions and theory included, this course gives you enough time in the water to build confidence, improve technique and enjoy steady progression without feeling overloaded.

Intensive Course

Designed for surfers who want to make the most of their time in the water. This course includes daily group sessions with theory and is focused on accelerating progression through repetition, feedback and consistency. Available during low season, with limited availability in peak summer.

Private Course

For guests who prefer a more personalised approach, private lessons can be arranged directly at the camp. These sessions are tailored to your level, goals and pace, and are subject to the availability of the surf team.
