Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Molinucos is a tiny beach in Santander: its 25 metres in length and 5 metres in width form a strip of golden sand and cobbles before a mountainous setting. Isolated and little visited, it has moderate swell and no public facilities, a feature consistent with its scale and secluded character. It is easily reached on foot, and the listing also records an interurban bus from the S-20. The only practical support mentioned is containers and a cleaning service.
