Playa de Tregandín

Playa de Tregandín is a 3700-meter stretch of sandy shore on the Cantabrian coast, with golden sand and moderate wave action backed by limestone cliffs. The beach widens and narrows in different sections, creating varied spaces for swimming and walking.

The limestone formations took shape over millions of years as the sea eroded and reshaped the coastline. This geological process created the shoreline that has supported human settlement and fishing traditions in the region.

Fishing remains central to daily life here, with local boats and nets visible along the shore during morning hours. The beach reflects how communities have organized their relationship with the sea over many generations.

Lifeguarded swimming areas and first aid stations operate during the summer months, making it safer for families and groups. Parking areas and paths provide easy access to different sections of the beach for various activities.

The western end borders a marshland zone where seawater and freshwater mix, creating a transition habitat that is less visited than the main beach. Bird watchers find this area particularly interesting due to the varied species attracted to the wetland ecosystem.
