Loredo
Loredo is Cantabria's spacious alternative—a long, exposed beach that offers multiple peaks and room to spread out when nearby Somo gets packed. The wave is consistent and forgiving, making it popular with surf schools and progressing intermediates. The expansive sand allows for exploration and the chance to find uncrowded peaks even on busy weekends. The charming village and less-developed coastline give Loredo a more authentic feel than some of Cantabria's busier surf towns.
