We stayed here in an apartement right at the beach for a bit more than a week in April. It's a very nice, very clean beach. Wide and long. Fantastic views left and right. It's the Spain's North, so it's cooler and windier than in the more popular South. But for us the North is more interesting, it has lots of charm and so many different landscapes. Great food as well and lots of beautiful villages. Some days it was pretty windy and the sand blew in our faces, on other days perfectly calm and even warm for April. A great beach to walk on (too cold for us to swim in springtime). Morning and/or afternoons. Even though dogs are officially banned, in the off-season almost everybody had their dog with. Good for us, so our Bulldog was able to have some fun on the beach as well. Even though lots of dogs, the beach was spotless clean. Everybody picks up after their pets and pretty much nobody leaves any trash behind. Please do so as well when visiting. There are plenty of (free) parking lots along the beach. And in Spring, especially in times of Covid-19, there were always lots of empty spaces to park. Even on warm sunny days the numbers of visitors were very low. A lovely, quiet beach. That will change in summertime, judging by other photos. It also seems to be a great spot for surfing and windsurfing. A surf school is even located on the eastern end of the beach (as well as a prison: they must have great views from their cells). A really fantastic beach. Loved it. It was a joy to walk here daily and/or just enjoy the views of it. Also a very safe spot, never felt strange even in the middle of the night. So, if you visit Santona, head for this lovely beach...or try to stay a few nights even.

Der Strand war super leer, Bademeister und Parkplätze waren genug da :). Perfekter stop zwischen Santander und Bilbao

This is a fantastic beach and one of the best i have ever seen. It is my favorite stop in Spain. The cliffs and caves during low tide are Magic. Free parking. Beautiful sand and colour of water. But the caves on the right side are unreal. Go during low tide.

Even more than the beach itself, which is awesome, I liked a lot all the way to come here, passing the bridges over the marshland. The beach is very wild and it was my first time surfing here. High quality waves altough its quite overcrowed...even in low season. We were like 60 people for 2 peaks.

My favourite dog beach in Cantabria. REMEMBER during the Summer you can enjoy It before 11:00hrs and after 20:00hrs. 🐾💚 Nice to surf too...

Nice quiet beach to chill. Not crowded at all..favourite sand and beach in the region

Beautiful, wide, nice sand… with lifeguards.

If you are in Santoña, you must visit this beach. It is big and beautiful.

Beautiful beach, it's about 1.8km long, perfect for nice walk.

Beautiful beach.

Ein riesiger Strand und man kommt sich nicht ins Gehege. Der trockene Sand ist so weich wie Mehl. Der Strand ist supersauber und ein toller Ort um seine Batterien aufzutanken.

Und noch ein weiterer wunderschöner Strand mit Surfschule und einer lustigen Kombination zwischen einem Campingplatz und einem großem Gefängnis direkt dahinter.

Toller breiter Strand, an dem für alle Platz ist
