Latest reviews on Ajo's beaches

Playa El Sable
10 Luisa Rivera Hernandez

The town of Isla in Cantabria boasts a stunning beach with fine brown sand, crystal clear waters, and breathtaking views. It's the perfect spot for a vacation or some much-needed rest and relaxation. The beach also offers several walking paths in the surrounding area. I highly recommend it! Best wishes to all.

Somo Beach
6 Marcelis Zablockis

This beach near Santander is absolutely amazing! It's incredibly quiet and the sand is incredibly soft and fine, while the water is crystal clear. Plus, there are gray fine pebbles adding to the beach's unique charm.

Playa de Ris
6 Professor Anderson

This beach near Barrio Castrejon is the bee's knees! It links up with Playa Cuarezo, and it's a huge stretch of sand, so there's plenty of space for everyone. You don't have to worry about traipsing far for refreshments either, as there are plenty of shops and eateries within a stone's throw. The tide comes in during the day and then retreats later in the afternoon - making for a picturesque view. All in all, this is definitely my go-to spot!

Noja Beach (Trengandin Beach)
8 Sophie an der See

This beach is a great spot for a day in the sun. The sand is soft and pristine, and there are plenty of nearby bars to enjoy a cold drink. However, it can get quite busy at times.

Berria Beach
6 Caleb Brightwell

That place is far from being great. The parking is free, but the sand isn't as beautiful as it could be and the color of the water isn't anything special. The caves on the right side are quite disappointing. If you do decide to go, make sure it's during low tide; otherwise, you won't get to see the cliffs and caves.

Playa de Langre
8 Irina Kalinin

Playa de Langre was a great find! The stunning cliffs were a sight to behold in the sunshine, and there weren't too many people there when we visited in early October. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate surfer, you'll find the perfect waves here - head to the west side for calmer waters or stay in the middle for more challenging waves. 🏄🏻‍♀️🤙🏼
