Cantabria is a land of sea and mountains, and its coastline perfectly captures this contrast. Long sandy beaches, green landscapes and the power of the Cantabrian Sea create the perfect setting for a holiday by the sea. If you’re looking for beaches to add to your route, Trengandín, Ris and Berria are three great reasons to explore this part of northern Spain.

Trengandín, nature on the shores of Noja

Trengandín Beach, in Noja, stretches for several kilometres and stands out for its vast expanse of sand and natural surroundings. At low tide, the landscape changes as rock formations emerge, creating one of the beach’s most distinctive sights.

If you’re staying at BLUESEA Noja, you’ll have an excellent base for visiting Trengandín, whether you fancy a walk beside the Cantabrian Sea or a relaxing day on the beach.

Ris, beach and scenery in Noja

Also in Noja, Ris Beach is another of the town’s best-known sandy beaches. Its surroundings combine sand, small rocky areas and views of several islets just off the coast, creating a landscape that changes dramatically with the tides.

From BLUESEA Noja, you can easily combine a visit to Ris with other activities in and around the town, alternating beach time, nature and walks by the sea.

Berria, between the Cantabrian Sea and the marshes

Very close to Santoña, Berria Beach offers a different kind of scenery. Its long stretch of sand lies between Mount Buciero and Mount Brusco, with the Santoña marshes just a few kilometres away. Sea, mountains and natural spaces come together here in one of the most characteristic landscapes of Cantabria’s eastern coast.

A day trip from BLUESEA Noja gives you the chance to discover Berria and also explore Santoña and its surroundings.

Trengandín, Ris and Berria offer three different ways to enjoy the Cantabrian coast. Beaches for walking, relaxing and taking in landscapes where the green countryside seems to reach all the way to the Cantabrian Sea.
