Playa de las Arenas

This 250-meter stretch of coastline features pebble composition and dark-colored waters, surrounded by steep cliffs and oak forests that create a natural backdrop along the western Cantabrian coast.

The beach area has been shaped by karst processes over centuries, creating the distinctive rocky formations and cliffs that characterize this section of the Cantabrian coastline.

Local traditions emphasize respect for the natural environment, with visitors expected to maintain the pristine condition of this undeveloped coastal area without commercial facilities.

Access is via the N-634 and S-494 roads connecting to Pechón, with no services such as lifeguards, restrooms, showers, or parking facilities for visitors.

The beach reveals hidden lateral coves during low tide that remain completely submerged when the tide is high, offering different experiences depending on tidal conditions.
