Where else in the world are your primary concerns a) the temperature of your beer and b) trying not to get too much sun? Where each and every day is a cycle of eating, surfing, yoga and drinking, and the nights are spent partying it up in the streets of San Sebastian or just connecting with other like minded travellers at the surf house. Wake up surrounded by verdant hills and coastal views, to the sound of rustling leaves and twittering birds at our surf house (it’ll make you never want to leave)! Our little slice of paradise, just outside of San Sebastian, located in the natural reserve Pagoeta, is a combination of breathtaking landscapes (mountains and beaches), intriguing Basque culture, award to winning food, insane waves, and beautiful weather! What’s better than getting the best of both worlds, experiencing the amazing landscapes of the basque country and still heading to the beach every day?
There’s a bunch of activities on offer, from cliff to jumping and hiking, for the adrenaline junkies, to pintxo tours through the Michelin to starred streets of San Sebastian for the foodies.
Your meals are prepared, your beers chilled, your beds made for your arrival and your party nights pre to organised. What a treat! The friends you’ll make at our San Sebastian Surf Camp are some of the best folk around, open to minded, international travelers gathering from all over the world, so there’ll be languages to learn and stories to hear over a beer or seventeen (or sangria if that’s more your jam)
Location
We are uniquely located just off the beaten track in the beautiful Pagoeta Nature Reserve. Just a 10 to minute drive from Playa Zarautz and a 30 minute drive from the centre of San Sebastian. We offer our guests the rare opportunity to experience surfing Zarautz beach every day, partying and eating in San Sebastian, all while being able to retreat back to the surf house to take in the panoramic views of the forest, green hills and north Atlantic ocean. Fresh Sangria in hand of course!

The stay at the surfcamp was like a holiday with a few friends! Everyone was so loving and warm, learning to surf was really cool and the "evening program" was also pretty nice. thank you for the great time guys!

The best week of my trip!
The moment I walked into the San Sebastion surf camp I immediately felt apart of the family, with a beer in hand the good times had just begun.
In the week I spent at the camp everything was run so smoothly and professionally with never a dull moment.
Thanks to the amazing instructors who go the extra mile to help everyone of all abilities, I importantly saw a great improvement in my surfing.
After the day is spent at the beach the staff would organise nightly activities to keep the good times going, from pinchos tours in San Sebastions old town, visiting one of Basque countries famous sidra (cider) houses or fun nights in at the amazing house on the hill.
In the two years I have spent travelling I don't believe I have had a more enjoyable week than the time with stoke.
When exploring Europe in the summer months stopping in to Stokes surfing options & other festivals is a must.
Thank you again to all the team & guests for an amazing time, Legends.

Camp was fun and there was a nice hippie atmosphere around it, but it could be cleaner and at times the staff could be a bit more thoughtfull. But overall a great experience!
