About

Playa de Berria is a protected natural beach situated in the coastal town of Santoña, on the north‑western coast of Spain. The stretch of shoreline extends more than two kilometres of fine, golden sand, lying between the dramatic cliffs of Monte Buciero to the east and the expansive marshlands of the Marismas de Santoña and Victoria to the west. The beach is a popular destination for both local residents and visitors, offering a tranquil escape from city life while surrounded by pristine natural beauty. Visitors to Playa de Berria will find a well‑equipped area that caters to families, picnic lovers and those seeking a day of relaxation. The beach is divided into two zones: one hosts five tables and three barbecue pits, while the other features ten tables (arranged two‑by‑two) and three additional barbecue stations. The site also offers shower and toilet facilities, a public phone, a kiosk, and a free playground area for children. A dedicated parking lot complements the beach, making it easily accessible by car. Beyond its amenities, Playa de Berria boasts several environmental accolades. It carries the prestigious Blue Flag certification, confirming high standards of water quality and environmental management. The surrounding Marismas de Santoña form a nature reserve that attracts birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, with a variety of species observed during spring and autumn migration seasons. Those arriving with mobility challenges will appreciate the beach’s wheelchair‑accessible ramps and smooth pathways that connect the parking area, the dune, and the shoreline.
