If you’re looking for a surf holiday that’s about more than just ticking off waves, Oyambre might be exactly what you’re after. Tucked away on Spain’s unspoiled north coast, it offers a different kind of surf experience — one where you can slow down, breathe and properly switch off while still enjoying consistent waves and a great social atmosphere.
Some surf destinations are all about the buzz — crowded beaches, busy line-ups and nightlife that never really stops. Our Oyambre Surf Camp is a little different. Tucked between the mountains and the Atlantic in northern Spain, it’s the kind of place where life slows down and the focus shifts to good waves, beautiful nature and quality time with friends.
One of the first things guests notice is the sense of space. Oyambre sits inside a stunning natural park, with long sandy beaches and rolling green hills stretching back from the coast. Even in the height of summer, it rarely feels crowded and there’s usually plenty of room in the line-up to find your own wave. Compared with some of the busier surf towns further south, the atmosphere here feels calm, open and refreshingly unhurried.
Between surf sessions, there’s plenty of time to switch off and relax. Afternoons might mean stretching out on the beach, joining a yoga session, or heading back into the water for a sunset surf as the light fades across the bay.
The evenings follow that same easy rhythm. Many nights are spent at camp, sharing food, drinks and stories from the day’s waves. For those who feel like heading out, there are also a few fun options nearby. On busier nights, the campsite bar sometimes turns into a lively little club, while still being far enough away that you won’t hear it back at the surf camp if you’re ready for an early night. Just down the road, there’s also a classic Spanish sunset spot — a laid-back riverside and beach bar where people gather for drinks as the sun disappears behind the hills. And the beautiful town of Comillas is close by too, with great restaurants, bars and a lively summer atmosphere whenever you feel like a change of scene.
It’s this balance that makes Oyambre so special. You get the calm of nature, space to unwind between surfs and just enough nightlife nearby when you’re in the mood for a fun evening out.
