Catch your first waves at El Palmar, one of the most consistent beach breaks in southern Spain, with Surf Club El Palmar – a local surf school right on the beachfront.
Why surfers choose us:
- Small groups of max 8 people, so your instructor actually watches every wave you take.
- Free pickup from Conil de la Frontera – no car needed.
- Class photos included: we shoot your session so you can keep your first stand-up.
- After surfing, enjoy our beachfront club: hot showers, lockers, toilets, chill-out area and a beach café serving brunch.
- Friendly certified instructors like Gonzalo and Javi, mentioned again and again in our reviews.
- All lessons are taught in English (Spanish also available).
How the lesson works: after a short briefing and warm-up on the sand, beginners learn paddling, popping up, balance and ocean safety; more experienced surfers work on wave selection, positioning and manoeuvres. Lesson times follow the tides, so you always surf in the best conditions of the day.
Who it's for: adults and children aged 10+, from total beginners to intermediate surfers. For younger kids (from 5 years) book our private lesson.
Everything is included: wetsuit, surfboard, leash and insurance. We are on the El Palmar beachfront promenade, next to Parking La Orilla and El Havanita, with on-site parking.
