Playa de Valdearenas

Playa de Valdearenas is a sandy beach on the Cantabrian coast that stretches for several kilometers and is framed by large dune systems and pine forests. The shoreline features expansive sand areas and a natural setting with different zones to explore.

The area received protected status in 1986 to preserve one of the largest dune systems in northern Spain. It became part of a nature reserve that safeguards this particular landscape for future generations.

Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices at the mouth of the Pas River, which marks the western boundary of the beach.

The beach has parking facilities and is easy to reach via the CA-305 road. Basic facilities including showers and waste bins are available on-site.

Strong winds and consistent wave patterns make this location popular with water sports enthusiasts throughout the year. The conditions attract both beginners and experienced visitors.
