Playa del Camello

Santander, Spain 39005

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Playa del Camello, or Camel Beach, earned its name as a result of the huge rock on its shore that resembles the hump of a camel. This small, yet clean beach is a great place for a romantic stroll at night, as well as a great place to sit with a group of friends and take in the sun during the day. However, it is not as good for swimming due to the numerous small rocks littering the shoreline. Bus: 1
