Playa de Canallave

Playa de Canallave is a beach spanning roughly 250 meters along the Cantabrian coast, with sandy shores framed by natural rock formations that rise at both ends. The shoreline maintains its unbuilt character with native vegetation on the cliffs above.

The beach has remained largely unchanged for centuries, avoiding the urban development that transformed many coastal areas. This natural preservation makes it representative of how the Cantabrian shore once appeared throughout the region.

The beach serves as a gathering place for local families during summer, where swimming and seaside leisure are central to how people spend their time.

The beach has a parking area for around 100 vehicles, with showers and waste bins available for visitors. Lifeguards are present during the summer season to monitor water safety.

The beach experiences steady eastern winds and consistent wave conditions that attract surfers throughout the year. These reliable water conditions make it a preferred spot for those seeking predictable surfing opportunities.
