Playa de Mataleñas

Playa de Mataleñas is a sandy beach on the Cantabrian coast framed by tall limestone cliffs. The beach offers showers, toilets, and lifeguard services during summer months.

The beach formed over centuries through natural erosion of coastal limestone cliffs. This gradual shaping created the protected cove that exists today.

The beach serves as a gathering place where local people spend summer days and connect with one another. Its sheltered setting makes it a preferred spot for residents and their families to meet.

Access to the cove requires descending stairs to reach the shoreline. Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and changing conditions.

The beach maintains relatively stable water temperatures throughout the year due to its sheltered position. This natural shielding protects it from extreme temperature swings.
