Playa de Santa Justa, located in Ubiarco, part of the municipality of Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, Spain, is a tranquil and secluded beach. It offers a serene and natural experience with a beautiful hermitage built into a protective cliff. The beach stretches approximately 100 meters in length and has an average width of 40 meters, featuring a mix of sand and stones with golden sand. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, sunbathing, and exploring nearby rock formations. Despite its remote nature, Playa de Santa Justa is recognized for its favorable conditions for bodyboarding. However, the beach lacks certain amenities, making it ideal for those seeking solitude.
The surrounding area is not highly urbanized, and the beach is accessible via a scenic hiking route that covers several kilometers of the Camino del Norte. This route provides picturesque views of the coastline and the hilly countryside.
Playa de Santa Justa has undergone improvements, including a new parking area and access points, making it more convenient for visitors. A nearby food truck offers supplies, though other amenities like toilets and umbrella rentals are not available.
