Playa de Oriñón, Coastal beach in Castro Urdiales, Spain.

The beach extends for 1100 meters along the Cantabrian coast, featuring golden sand and natural silt marsh formations at the Agüera River mouth.

The location marks the spot where the Agüera River has been meeting the Cantabrian Sea for thousands of years, creating a natural harbor.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at the beach, maintaining connections to regional maritime customs that span generations.

The beach includes parking facilities, lifeguard services during summer months, and several access points through marked pathways from the village.

The beach experiences significant tidal variations, with the water line moving up to 500 meters between high and low tides.
