Playa de Usgo

The beach stretches for 300 meters along the Cantabrian coast, featuring white sand surrounded by tall limestone cliffs and deep blue waters.

The Solvay chemical company has discharged calcium carbonate into these waters since the industrial development of Torrelavega region in the 1980s.

Local residents from Miengo travel to this beach during summer weekends, maintaining their connection with the natural coastal environment of Cantabria.

The beach lacks basic facilities such as showers, restrooms, or lifeguard services, and the small parking area fills quickly during peak season.

The waters display an intense blue color due to the calcium carbonate deposits, creating a distinct visual characteristic among Cantabrian beaches.
