The best places in Europe to surf

Mundaka, Basque Country, Spain

If you want to immerse yourself in all the magic of the Basque Country, don’t miss a visit to Mundaka, a charming coastal town in the natural biosphere of Urdaibai. It’s also a highly recommended destination if you’re looking for the best spots to surf in Europe and has hosted the world championship for over a decade. The left wave is considered one of the best in the world, reaching up to 5 meters in height. In addition to surfing in this old fishing village, you can discover the Church of Santa María, the beautiful hermitage of Santa Catalina and its cliffs. Going out for pintxos, taking in the panoramic view from the Portuondo lookout over the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and taking a dip in the crystal clear waters are other plans for you to enjoy. All this with parking spaces for motorhomes available.

Biarritz (France)

And who says waves, says Biarritz. Continuing through the Basque Country, but on the French side, lies this beautiful city, which is not only beautiful, but also perfect spots for surfers. The famous gulf of «La Gravière» has conquered people from all corners of the world, who take the opportunity to explore the beautiful architecture of Biarritz and enjoy a croissant in front of an idyllic landscape. The beaches, the lighthouse, the Rocher de la Vièrge and the view of the Bay of Biscay will leave you breathless. Biarritz is also an excellent destination to visit by motorhome.

Peniche (Portugal)

And when it comes to waves, Portugal is one of the top surfing destinations in Europe. In particular, the Peniche peninsula, which is easily accessible from Lisbon and has spaces for vans and motorhomes. On the frozen water coasts, you will find the perfect conditions to practice this water sport and appreciate the natural beauty of the beaches and surroundings. In Peniche there is something for everyone, with more than 30 surf spots: in Foz do Arelho there is surfing for all levels, in Supertubos you will witness one of the most famous waves of the continent, in Carvoeiro you will find a beautiful lighthouse and in Baleal you learn to surf.

Godrevy (England)

When we go to England, we discover a jewel for surfers in St.Ives Bay and west of Cornwall: Godrevy. This beautiful protected space, home to multiple animals and plants, is surrounded by islands and offers several routes for hiking. Take your time and enjoy the water, the sun and the tranquility of this place, where you can surf but also rest. Godrevy has rocks on the west side and on the south side there is the sandy beach for surfers. Continuing on to Navax Point, you’ll find huge cliffs, as well as the Godrevy Lighthouse, built in the 19th century, which may have been the inspiration for ‘To the lighthouse’, the fantastic novel by British author Virginia Woolf. So if you’re looking for inspiration, Godrevy is for you.

Sardinia (Italy)

Italy has it all: culture, beautiful landscapes, delicious gastronomy and a cheerful atmosphere that makes everyone who visits it feel at home. But in addition, it has the beautiful island of Sardinia, whose waves make it one of the places to visit if you want to surf in Europe, and which is easily accessible with a motorhome. Ruins, the Mediterranean, sandy beaches, turquoise waters… Sardinia is a paradise for beginners and surf professionals alike. Among the favorite beaches for getting into the water are those of the Costa Verde, Rena Bianca in Santa Teresa di Gallura, Isola Rossa, Buggero in San Nicolo and Porto Ferro in Alghero.
