El Camello Beach, Urban beach in Santander, Spain

El Camello Beach is an east-facing beach of about 10,000 square metres in Santander, set below the level of the promenade that surrounds it, so stairs or ramps lead down to the sand. It lies parallel to Avenida de la Reina Victoria and perpendicular to Avenida de la Magdalena, between El Sardinero beach and the Magdalena peninsula. Its western limit is a large car park; to the north is a rocky area with a small hill crowned by a statue of the child Neptune by Ramón Muriedas.

The beach is named after one of its rocks, whose shape recalls a camel, or less commonly a dromedary. On the rocky rise at its northern edge stands a statue of the child Neptune by Ramón Muriedas, placed in 1979, the International Year of the Child. Removed in 2012 after both arms and the trident broke, it was restored to its original spot in 2019, and a plaque honouring the sculptor was later installed.

The beach lies below the level of the promenade that surrounds it, so stairs and ramps are needed to reach the sand. Access for people with reduced mobility is provided, and lifeguards are on duty from 22 June to 22 September. A large car park borders the beach to the west, but it fills up in summer. Showers, footwashes and waste bins are available.

Beside the car park, the wall that levels the slope up to Avenida de la Reina Victoria carries a quotation from Benito Pérez Galdós's 1877 novel Gloria. The beach is named after one of its rocks, whose shape recalls a camel, or less commonly a dromedary.
