General presentation
Costa Quebrada et Liencres
Littoral very cut near Santander, with arches, cliffs, beaches, dunes and views easy to combine.
The discovery of Costa Quebrada and Liinks revolves around the Natural Park of the dunes of Liinks, Costa Quebrada and Arnía Beach. The stay thus alternates between the coast and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only most well-known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. To anticipate also: tides to anticipate and sea sometimes strong. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Parc naturel des dunes de Liencres
Between the mouth of the Pas and the open coast, the dunes of Liinks draw a landscape of sand, pines and beaches beaten by the wind. The footbridges and trails give access to a fragile relief, where the oyats hold the ridges and where the light changes quickly on the beach of Valdearenas.
Place
Santander
Santander has an urban breath marked by his relationship to the sea front and its streets that lead naturally to the squares. The visitor better understands the city by following the transitions between the centre and coastal areas, rather than by stationing at the same point. The light cloudy days make the architectural forms more legible.
Place
Suances
Suances lives between port, beaches and promontories, with frank views of the Saja-Besaya estuary and the Cantabrian Sea. The streets descend towards the docks, then open onto the beach of La Concha or on the rocks of Los Locos, more exposed to the wind and surfers.
