La Maruca, Coastal beach in Santander, Spain.
A sandy beach stretches along the northern coast of Spain, featuring natural rock formations and offering views across the Cantabrian Sea.
This shoreline area developed into a recreational destination during the early 20th century when Santander became a summer resort for Spanish nobility.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices near the beach, with small boats launching directly from the sand during favorable weather conditions.
The beach provides free parking facilities, public restrooms, and seasonal lifeguard services from June through September between 11:00 and 19:00.
Natural pools form in the rock formations during low tide, creating protected swimming areas separate from the open ocean waters.
