It is one of the most
spectacular beaches of the well-known "Costa Quebrada", the stretch
of Cantabria coastline that goes from Piélagos to Santa Cruz de Bezana. It is
located in the town of Liencres, within the municipality of Piélagos (Santander).
In its more than 200
meters of beach line there are imposing vertical ridges of limestone, small
islets vestige of the old coast and a spectacular abrasion platform, forming
one of the best geological landscapes of the area. This last coastal accident
arises from the erosion of a rocky and flat soil due to waves and sand over
time.
The fact of being
separated from the population centers (it is located 3 km from Soto de la
Marina) and its complex access (after parking has to complete a last section of
descent on foot), makes it not too crowded beach, but it is one of the coastal
corners that is worth knowing, especially at low tide.
CURIOSITY
The rocks of the Arnía
are called farallones. They are limestone strata sedimented at the bottom of
the sea 90 million years ago. They have risen almost to the vertical due to the
thrust of the continent against the Cantabrian tectonic plate that lies below
the coast.
