Oyambre and Gerra are really a single stretch of sand, close to 2 km long, running along the Cantabrian coast between Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera. It’s one of the few long stretches of this coastline that keeps its dune and marsh systems almost intact — the reason it was declared a Natural Park.
Fine, golden sand, with the pale tone typical of the Cantabrian coast. Behind it, vegetated dunes and, beyond those, marshes with interesting birdlife. No building along the seafront: the landscape keeps its character.
Swell from moderate to strong depending on the day — a good surfing beach in autumn. Full facilities in season. Forty-five minutes from Alles on the A-8. Easy to combine with a visit to Comillas or San Vicente de la Barquera.
