Pechón beach, Coastal beach in Val de San Vicente, Spain.
The 600-meter beach features golden sand, clear waters, and tall cliffs that form a natural barrier along the Cantabrian coastline.
The formation of Pechón beach resulted from centuries of coastal erosion and sediment deposits, creating a natural sandbar that connects to a small islet.
Local fishermen from Val de San Vicente maintain traditional fishing practices at Pechón beach, preserving maritime customs passed through generations.
Visitors can access the beach through a steep path near the camping area or via a one-way road leading to small parking lots.
During low tide, the beach transforms into a tombolo, revealing a temporary sand passage that allows people to walk to the offshore islet.
