If you're looking for a tranquil and serene beach, Playa de Marzan in Cantambria, Spain is the perfect spot. The water is crystal clear and it's the ideal place to relax and unwind.

We watched the sun go down here, surrounded by a much more natural environment than the urban Playa de Concha on the other side of the river. Despite its natural setting, the beach still offers showers, free parking, and a toilet at the bar next to it.

The beach is stunning, and even in late September the weather is still warm. It's a great spot to take your dogs for a walk, as it's usually quite empty. The water is a gorgeous aqua green, and the view out to sea is breathtaking. Plus, there's a stone pier you can stroll along.

This beach has plenty of room and parking compared to other beaches, and it's situated near a large park. The beach itself is also quite pleasant. I'd recommend it if you're in the area.
