The Surfers Fountain, locally known as Fuente de los Surfistas, is a bronze sculptural installation situated in A Coruña. The fountain features three distinct bronze figures depicting surfers in motion, paying homage to the city's strong surfing culture and its Atlantic coastline. It is located near the Orzán beach area, which is a focal point for the regional surfing community. The sculpture is mounted on a circular base that allows water to cascade around the figures. The site serves as a symbolic marker for the city's connection to the sea. It remains a popular point of interest for pedestrians walking along the urban beachfront promenades.
