Sardinero, Beach and historic district in Santander, Spain.
Sardinero is a beach area in Santander comprising two sections separated by a landscaped zone with golden sand throughout. Behind the shoreline sit promenades and buildings that frame the waterfront.
The area took shape in the 19th century when beach visits became fashionable and different social groups used separate sections. This layout has shaped the site ever since.
The Grand Casino on the promenade displays Monte Carlo-style architecture and remains a gathering place for both residents and visitors from Santander. The waterfront itself reflects an elegant past and invites leisurely walks.
The location has showers, toilets, and loungers available, with access routes for people with mobility challenges to reach the shore. Arriving early or outside peak season helps you avoid crowding.
At low tide, visitors can walk continuously across connected sandy stretches from one section to the other and explore the entire bay on foot. This natural occurrence makes the location special during certain tidal times.
