Somo

The Playa de El Puntal in Somo, Cantabria, is a vast sandbar over 4 kilometers long that closes the bay of Santander to the south. It offers stunning views of the city from its north side exposed to the Cantabrian Sea.

The northern part features a strong swell while the southern side, in the bay, remains calm and shallow. It is a popular spot for its length and wild character, accessible on foot from Somo or by boat in summer.

Nudism is practiced in certain areas, especially near the central dunes, and the atmosphere is relaxed with a clean and wide beach.
