Surfing Langre
A beach break in Santander & Somo, Spain, for intermediate surfers.
Langre is a beach under high cliffs a few kilometres east of Somo, reached by a path and stairs from the car park above. It's much quieter than Somo, and the setting is one of the prettiest in Cantabria.
It picks up north-west swell and is best around low tide, with peaks over sand and some rocks at the ends. When the tide is high there is little beach left. It's a good option when Somo is crowded, for surfers who can handle a bit more power.
