Ask HN: European cities with surf and tech jobs

4 pointsby shmapfalmost 10 years ago
What cities in Europe have a decent tech job scene, and are within an hour of good surf? The jobs don&#x27;t necessarily have to be start-ups, but can be.<p>Lisbon sounds like it could fit the bill, possibly somewhere in the Netherlands too, but I&#x27;m surprised at how rare it seems to be.

I can confirm the surf in Lisbon is awesome and a massive variety of beaches near the city. Not sure of the tech scene though. Ireland has awesome surf if you don&#x27;t mind the cold.<p>Bristol, Oxford, Cardiff and Swansea in the UK are all in good positions to get to the coast. 2&#x2F;3 hrs and lest than 1 hr respectively and decent chance of work.<p>If you have a chance of remote work consider Morocco!
