Oriñón Beach

Fantastic experience: Don't come late on weekends in July and August. You won't park well. On the road down to Oriñon (Monte Candina), do not park. You invade a lane, and in an emergency, there are many problems. When it's time to leave, remember not to leave the bag with your dog's poop either on the beach or in the estuary.

Fantastic experience: Free parking. There are showers to wash off the sand. This beach is awesome, many nice dogs with very friendly owners. It's quite large. You can go paddle surfing, snorkelling... 10 out of 10. The best I've seen.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, large, and clean beach. Parking is its biggest problem, but if you go early, there is space. You can also surf. It changes a lot with the tides, so you can walk many meters from when you enter the water until it covers you.

Positive experience: Dogs are allowed but we went on a Sunday and it was wild getting there, parking, and leaving.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful, somewhat accessible for people with wheelchairs and strollers. Highly recommended for children because it is very shallow.

Positive experience: Dogs are allowed but we went on a Sunday and it was wild getting there, parking, and leaving.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, very quiet and not crowded in this season. Too bad about the ban on dogs. It is absolutely prohibited.

Positive experience: Large and very family-friendly beach with not many currents, very extensive at low tide, windy and somewhat pleasant. Dogs are banned during the summer season, contrary to what some have indicated, you risk a hefty fine. On the right side of the beach, the one at Muelle Oriñón, is where they can be off-leash all year round. It has a blue flag, the shower is in a not very suitable area and the lifeguards are somewhat far from the shore, although they walk around, you don’t see them much. A bit dirty, especially with wood and some floating 'waste'.

Fantastic experience: The best beach to go with dogs

Positive experience: Wide beach with easy access. Complicated parking in summer due to saturation. In the area at the end that connects to the estuary, dogs are allowed in summer ❤️

Fantastic experience: Free parking. There are showers to wash off the sand. This beach is awesome, many nice dogs with very friendly owners. It's quite large. You can go paddle surfing, snorkelling... 10 out of 10. The best I've seen.

Positive experience: Nice place with good sand, the bad thing is that it usually gets very windy and raises a lot of sand.

Positive experience: It was a beautiful beach until the environmentalists arrived and ruined it. Previously, the sand reached the promenade and was clean sand. A few years ago, they brought machines to create artificial dunes that have become overgrown with brambles and occupy half the beach. It gives a sense of abandonment and dirtiness, a real shame.

Fantastic experience: It has it all! Fine sand, dunes, water at different temperatures, a rocky area with little pools, parking, good places to eat... very hospitable locals... an undiscovered paradise! The best beach, by far, in all of Cantabria! That said... it usually gets quite breezy because it is the entrance to Guriezo! If you're sensitive to the cold, better go to Laredo or Castro!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful sandy beach

Fantastic experience: Del lado derecho de la playa está la zona canina, es una buena opción de play para perros. Intenta aparcar en el parking que está justo al lado de la playa, te lleva directamente a la zona para perros. Al salir hay muchos chiringuitos con terraza para tomar algo. Está bastante bien como opción de playa para perros. En el parking hay una ducha de agua dulce. No olvides tu sombrilla y tu silla!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with rather limited parking. There are a couple of restaurants nearby and a campsite.

Positive experience: Playa con un encanto y entorno que te relaja los sentidos,aparcamientos amplios cercanos,rodeado de bares y restaurantes donde poder comer en sus terrazas.

Fantastic experience: En el muelle es playa para perritos, grande amplia y arena fina una de las más chulas de Cantabria, el pueblo tiene mogollón de opciones de restaurantes y es muy animado, los fines de semana está muy concurrido

Fantastic experience: Es una playa fantástica por su tamaño y aunque está abierta hacia el mar es de mareas suaves . Cuando baja la marea al ser muy llana tienes que ir un buen rato andando para bañarte xq el agua queda lejos. Lo que no me ha gustado estos días es que está muy sucia. Tiene muchos restos de troncos y maderas sueltas por todo el arenal. Deberían limpiarla.Hay que pisar con cuidado.A la zona de la ría suele ir mucha gente con sus perros y se quedan en ese tramo sin molestar a los que están en la playa. Me parece muy bien porque se puede convivir sin problemas. Unas duchas y baños serían el remate para esta playa .Tiene un camping justo pegado a la playa con restaurante y hay un par de cerveceras cerca tmb. Varios bares en el centro .

Fantastic experience: Una playa super limpia y con duchas en el parking, recomendable ir entre semana ya que hay menos gente, es difícil aparcar los fines, pero es aparcamiento gratuito. Nosotros fuimos 3 días distintos y con perro, ya que en la zona de ría te dejan bañarte con el perro (y si te pones en otra zona que no permitan los socorristas vienen amablemente a decirte desde donde es la zona de perros, pero no te multan). La ría está bastante limpia (en comparación con otras) y hay partes en las que no tocas fondo y en otras que no te cubre. A veces hay corriente, pero es perfecto para los que no le gustan las olas o le gusta el río. Si vas con perro se recomienda aparcar en el último parking, el más cercano a la ría, para no tener que andar mucho.

Positive experience: Today, September 12, 2023, a day with Siri Miri, the water was deliciously warm, I enjoyed a delightful bath. I want to thank and appreciate that even though there was only one bather and one surfer practicing, the lifeguards were there taking care of all of us. A round of applause for them.

Positive experience: I like this beach, for many memories, for its white sand and for the tranquility of its waters. However, I find it an insult to the intelligence of users to award a blue flag to a beach that: 1: I barely know if it has 1 shower and 1 foot shower when others have showers and foot showers at each of their exits. 2: It has no garbage bins (since I won't even mention recycling bins as all beaches with a minimum level of environmental care have). 3: The most amazing thing is, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS!! WHAT SHOULD THE LIFEGUARDS WHO WORK ALL DAY THERE DO? WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DECIDE TO SPEND THE DAY AT THE BEACH? 4: On a positive note, it is greatly appreciated that they have the riverside area to be able to go with dogs and raise awareness of a reality that exists today in our society; there are more dogs than kids, and what is more important, most kids live with dogs and it suits them to go to the beach, this way, they can spend a day at the beach with their pets. It would be appreciated to have communication about pets being welcome so that one does not feel they are doing something for which they can be fined and communication about picking up your dog's waste and ensuring it does not bother anyone at the beach. There are always those who believe that by bringing it to this area, 'EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED,' and they are the ones who spoil the goodwill of municipalities like that of Oriñón-Castro. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Fantastic experience: Es una playa grande de arena de ocupación media. Es una playa ventosa, por lo que no pasas calor, eso si, hay veces que si el aire es muy fuerte te comes la arena. La parte izquierda de la playa a partir de las 17 o 18 le da la sombra sobre todo en agosto que se acortan los días. En la parte de la derecha esta la ría, hay gente que suele llevar a esa zona a los perros, pero no se si está permitido. Es una playa con socorristas. Hay varios parking y lo bueno que tiene está playa es que no hay escaleras ni cuestas, es totalmente lisa. Es un pueblo pequeño así que no hay muchos bares. Hay camping al lado de la playa.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach that you can access from the Camping. The water is a bit wild and tends to have a red flag.

Positive experience: The local surfers are selfish and it's impossible to enjoy such a beautiful environment.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach surrounded by mountains. Water was warm, and the sun was shining. It's easy to park, and it's free for the day. Gently sloping beach sonat low tide, its very far out, it's brilliant for body surfing, bodyboarding. Sometimes good enough for a short board. At high tide, it meets the river and is nearer for swimming for those who won't walk. Definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful beach, parking is easy, it is very wide and stretches for miles at low tide, even in the middle of August there aren’t many people. The beach is spectacular at low tide, with natural pools of crystal clear water forming on both sides, and on the right side, you can jump off some rocks, a few meters high and without any risk. One of the most beautiful and fun beaches I have been to!
