Continuing with our ARISTOPETERS beach route, we could not forget the beaches of Cantabria. Cantabria has more than 220 km of coastline, with more than ninety beaches that meet the varied tastes of visitors to Cantabria.
Large, small, urban, wild, sheltered and peaceful, or open to the Cantabrian Sea, among this great number of wonderful beaches, we are telling you about those you can enjoy with your ARISTODOGS:

Located in San Vicente de la Barquera. La Maza Beach (or Los Vagos Beach, as it is popularly known) is a small sandy beach located in the Oyambre Estuary. It consists of fine golden sand, very calm waters, and moderate winds. This dog-friendly beach in San Vicente de la Barquera is open all year round with no time restrictions.

La Riberuca Beach is one of the latest beaches designated for dogs in Cantabria. It is a small beach located at the mouth of the Saja River in Suances. It is a beach with few visitors and gentle waves. Be careful: when the tide is low, the dog beach is left without water and turns into a muddy area.
Arcisero Beach
It is located east of the city, on the way to La Granja Port, in a valley between Cerredo and Peña Helguera. It is a natural beach of great scenic beauty made up of rocks and sand, ideal for enjoying with your pet. Its waves are moderate to high, so don't forget to keep an eye on your pet at all times.
Muelle Oriñón
Muelle Oriñón Beach in Castro Urdiales is a small cove where fishermen leave their boats. Dogs can roam freely and off-leash all year round. There are no specific rules for this beach; dogs can roam off-leash throughout the year. As in any public space, you must pick up after your pet and try not to disturb other visitors.
Cargadero Mioño Cove
A small cove belonging to the town council of Castro Urdiales, where our ARISTODOGS can roam freely all year round. It is a small cove made up of sand and pebbles with light waves.

This is a section of El Puntal Beach, an extensive sandbar that closes off the entrance to Santander Bay to the south. It is located in the town of Somo, belonging to the municipality of Ribamontán.
El Puntal Beach consists of a large, 4.5-kilometer sandy area with a dune system in its central section. The area designated for dogs is the part located south of this large sandy area, next to Somo Pier in the Miera Estuary.
El Arenal del Jortín Beach
It is a small cove located next to San Juan de la Canal Beach. It is 100 meters long and lies between small cliffs and rocks.
In April 2016, the Santa Cruz de Bezana town council approved access for people accompanied by their dogs to Arenal del Jortín, but not to San Juan de la Canal or Covachos.
El Madero Beach
It has been considered a dog-friendly beach since 2016. It is a small cove of rock, pebbles, and sand. Dogs are allowed access all year round with no restrictions.
Helgueras Beach
Last year, the town council decided to change the regulations and designate a bathing area for dogs. The area for dogs covers about 800 meters of the beach.
It has fine sand and large, sharp rocks. It is available during July and August with no time restrictions.
