It is the closest urban beach to the city centre, which makes it the ideal option for enjoying a day at the beach without having to leave the city centre.
Santander has a wide range of sandy beaches. From urban beaches to natural coves, in our city you have the opportunity to enjoy these spaces while sunbathing, practising a variety of sports, taking a stroll... and, moreover, at any time of the year because in Santander it is always a pleasure to go to the beach.
Since 1847, the beaches of Santander, specifically the Primera de El Sardinero, became popular when it was pioneered in promoting itself as suitable for receiving the therapeutic "Baños de Ola".
Urban beaches are easily accessible by promenades, cycle paths, roads and, of course, frequent public transport, making them the ideal choice for those looking for convenience.
In this wide range, Santander has paradisiacal settings such as the coves that are set in natural surroundings, with their fine sands and blue waters that take on dreamy tones. Without a doubt, these are places where you can disconnect and relax.
And, as if that were not enough, in places of unquestionable beauty and natural value, there are the peri-urban beaches, which offer services such as ample parking and public transport, but are far from the city centre.
The city of Santander offers quality, safe and accessible beaches. Thus, in addition to having lifeguard services, showers, public transport and parking, the urban beaches offer leisure areas, such as libraries and games libraries, adapted toilets and amphibious chairs to facilitate bathing for people with reduced mobility.
Along the promenades that line many of the beaches, it is possible to find numerous bars and restaurants, where you can taste the most iconic dishes of Santander.
