Spain's 56 Most Breathtaking Beachside Towns Worth A Visit

40. Caión, Galicia: Surf’s Up in the North

Caión is one of those blink-and-you-miss-it towns that lingers in your memory. Located on Galicia’s “Costa da Morte,” this quiet fishing village has recently emerged as a haven for surfers thanks to its consistent Atlantic swell. Yet it still feels intimate and deeply local—think stone houses, church bells, and sleepy afternoons. Its small beach opens up to dramatic headlands, and its seafood (especially octopus and razor clams) is as good as anything in the region. Caión is where surf culture meets Galician tradition—unassuming and magnetic.
