  • • Gentle, consistent swell perfect for absolute beginners

  • • Uncrowded setting far from mass tourism

Description

Playa de Cuberris opens onto the Cantabrian Sea sheltered by the Ría de Ajo, in the municipality of Bareyo. With a gentle break and a stretch of fine sand, this quiet beach is one of the best spots to learn to surf on the Eastern Coast of Cantabria.

Unlike more exposed beaches such as Noja, Cuberris receives a friendlier swell that allows beginners to stand up from their first sessions. Local surf schools take advantage of these conditions to run beginner lessons in small groups, ensuring personal attention and fast progress.

Lessons begin with a brief land introduction — stance, paddling, balance — before entering the water with the instructor. The session includes all equipment: board and wetsuit adapted to size and level.

The Cuberris area is part of the Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Natural Park, ensuring clean beaches, protected dunes and migratory birds in the estuary.
