Playa de Arnao de Figueras

The beach extends along 450 meters of coastline with fine golden sand and maintains a width of approximately 30 meters throughout its length.

Between 1937 and 1943, the beach served as a concentration camp location where Republican prisoners and later anti-Franco guerrilla supporters were detained.

The beach connects to the Eo estuary, forming part of the regional identity where fishing and maritime activities shape local traditions.

Visitors can access the beach via concrete stairs, with parking facilities located 500 meters away and lifeguard services available during summer months.

The natural pool known as 'La Hollina' forms near the shore, creating protected swimming areas regardless of Cantabrian Sea conditions.
