Bikini Beach
The Bay of Santander is one of the most beautiful in Europe, and in the middle of this enclave we can find some paradises like the Bikini’s Beach, which thanks to this location has very calm waters, so if we are going to enjoy a day at the beach with the little ones this is one of the best destinations to choose from the area.
Sardinero Beach
The Sardinero Beach is probably the most mediatic and well-known beach of Santander, which due to its growth is nowadays divided between the First Sardinero Beach and the Second Sardinero Beach. At times when the tide is low, the two beaches come together and we can count on a single beach with more than 2 kilometers long. The location in the urban core makes it a real delight to move to it.
Camello Beach
The Camel Beach, is a small beach of approximately 200 meters long, and with a considerable width, which is located near the urban core of the city of Santander, and very close to the historic enclave of the Palace of La Magdalena, so if we want to visit this place we can take advantage of this outing and complete it with a refreshing swim in the beach. It should be noted that it is called Camel Beach because of a rock formation in the middle of the sea in the shape of this animal.
Mataleñas Beach
Nestled between two cliffs, is the Mataleñas Beach, which by its appearance and size seems more like a cove, as it has only 150 meters long, and with a protection from the wind by its location between two cliffs that make it becomes a real paradisiacal place. Undoubtedly this is one of the places we have to visit in Santander if or if. Of course, given its size we will have to come early if we want to find time to enjoy a day at the beach.
