Beach overall scores
Playa Aramal (Cantabria) is located outside the Pechon settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Aramal with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Access to this beach is difficult and getting out of the water is hazardous. Furthermore, the shore is littered with rocks, so it's not a great place to swim. Fortunately, there are better beaches out there."
Acelyn
"Truly spectacular. Despite its difficult access, it is still a very quiet spot with few people. What's more, it is now easily accessible, making it even more appealing. I absolutely love it!"
