Playa de Aramal, Sandy beach in Val de San Vicente, Spain

Playa de Aramal is a small sand beach beside Pechón, in the municipality of Val de San Vicente, Cantabria, on the Cantabrian Sea. It measures about 100 metres long and 25 metres wide, with fine golden sand and calm water. The final approach is an unpaved track and then a steep footpath.

This beach sits on the historic Cantabrian coast where maritime activity has occurred for centuries. The region held importance for early shipping routes along Spain's northern shore.

The beach takes its name from the Aramal cove beside Pechón, a village in Val de San Vicente. Bathers reach the sand on foot via a steep path, and the cove is used for swimming and water sports rather than fishing. The final stretch of the access road is unpaved.

Reaching the sand requires parking at a spot above and then descending a steep path to the water. Good footwear and reasonable fitness are helpful since access involves a challenging walk down.

Aramal is only 100 metres long and 25 metres wide, and its final approach is an unpaved track followed by a steep footpath, which keeps bathers away even in summer. The beach has no lifeguard service and no facilities of any kind.
