Sardinero

The beach of Sardinero

Sardinero is a popular beach located in the Spanish city of Santander, Cantabria.[1] The beach is divided in two by the gardens of Piquio about one-quarter the way along its length, stretching from the Magdalena Peninsula to Mataleñas; two further adjacent beaches are also sometimes included.[2] In total about 4,300 feet (1,300 meters) long and 260 feet (79 meters) deep, the beach features fine golden sand and moderate waves; it is bordered by a wide promenade running its entire length.[1]

Sardinero is lined with hotels, restaurants, and a casino,[1][3] and is regarded as one of the most elegant beach resorts in Spain.[2]
