Playa del Camello, Urban beach in Santander, Spain.
This beach stretches along Santander's bay with fine sand suitable for swimming and sunbathing. The water deepens gradually from the shore, making it accessible for visitors of different swimming abilities.
This beach was developed in the 20th century as a recreational destination for Santander's residents. The transformation turned this section of the coast into a popular leisure spot for families and swimmers.
This beach serves as a gathering point where locals spend their leisure time and connect with the sea. It holds a special place in the city's summer rhythm, drawing people of all ages to swim and unwind.
The beach has changing rooms, showers, and lifeguard services available during warmer months. It is advisable to visit early in the day to find the best conditions and fewer crowds.
The bay maintains relatively warm water temperatures throughout the year due to local sea currents. This makes swimming more comfortable even outside peak season compared to other spots along the northern coast.
