User reviews
"Famed beach 8km away from Santander, with its unworldly Rocky formations, is easily accessible and definitely worth a visit. To the left of the rocky divider you can find a natural pool to swim in, and to the right lies a small sandy beach which can get crowded. Come early, as there is limited parking space available."
