Surf Cafe
About This Spot
Stepping into Surf Cafe feels like finding a little coastal refuge where time slows down just enough to savor simple pleasures. Nestled along the sands of Somo, this spot welcomes you with an unhurried rhythm, a gentle hum of conversation, and the distant, endless murmur of the waves. Whether you’ve just come off the beach or are stopping by for a moment’s pause, the atmosphere is warmly familiar—like a friend’s living room, punctuated by the occasional clink of glasses and the soft notes of music weaving through the air.
The vibe here balances the ease of a neighborhood haunt with the vibrant pulse of a beachside locale. Inside, the bar area invites spontaneous exchanges and quick orders, while outside, benches and seats offer a panoramic gaze over the sea. This is the kind of place where the morning light filters in just right, coaxing out the comforting scent of fresh coffee and toasted croissants, inviting you to linger over something simple yet satisfying.
The menu feels carefully grounded in local tradition but with a breezy, approachable spirit—perfect for casual bites that complement a lingering coffee or a relaxed afternoon drink. Whether it’s a well-made café con leche paired with a slice of tortilla española or a selection of colorful pinchos shared among friends, each offering feels crafted to be enjoyed in the moment. There’s a certain generosity in the way the staff tend to their guests here, cultivating a welcoming space that feels both lively and easygoing.
Though the spot can buzz with sunny-day visitors drawn by its location, the flow remains effortless, and there’s an unmistakable sense of community in how everyone—from regulars to new faces—is met with genuine warmth. It’s a place to watch the tides, exchange a smile with neighbors, and feel quietly rooted in this corner of Cantabria’s coast.

Probably the most welcoming place in the entire Camino Very friendly, lovely beach view, can order very easily at the bar inside, and actually has good coffee!! Lovely music vibe, even if seats outside are busy there are benches around. And the best part: a guy came in and tried to skip me in the queue - the guy working immediately called him out and told him to go back behind me Anywhere with staff that actually watches out for their female customers like that you know they are doing something right!

Such a lovely place to enjoy a Tortilla looking at the waves The staff is so nice and welcoming, it feels like home. Strongly recommended at any time of the day !!

One of the few cafes serving the local beach. Prices on the expensive side and it is busy with queues that could have been managed better but overall an enjoyable experience here.

Really enjoyed breakfast here. Coffee is great, plenty of options for food. Service is quick and efficient. Right across from the beach. Very affordable.

Nice atmosphere. It's right on the beach from where you have a great view on Santander. Easy access, large parking lot. We came here in October, I imagine it will be very crowded in summer.

Fantastic wee place on the beach, we shared the King Burger between me and my wife and it was sufficient, really tasty too. Staff lovely too but what a great location outside in the sunshine
