Playa de Mataleñas, Natural beach cove in Santander, Spain.
The sandy beach spans 125 meters in length and 40 meters in width, framed by tall limestone cliffs alongside the Cantabrian Sea.
The beach formed naturally over centuries through erosion of the coastal limestone cliffs, creating the current protected cove structure.
Local residents gather at Mataleñas beach during summer evenings for community activities and social interactions near the northern Spanish coast.
Visitors need to descend 150 stairs to reach the beach, which offers basic facilities including showers, toilets, and summer lifeguard services.
The beach maintains constant water temperatures throughout the year due to its specific geographical position and natural cliff protection.
