3- Bikinis Beach

"Playa de los Bikinis" is a 250m calm beach on the grounds of the Magdalena Palace.

The Bikinis beach became famous for being the first beach in Santander where university students wore a bikini on the beach. These were foreign students from the Summer University of Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) and meant all a revolution in the traditional santander’s society.

It has a great playground and a large slide down onto the beach plus a handy cafe in the UIMP buildings. Views of the mountain ranges on the other side of the bay are just amazing.

ACCESS: is crossing La Magdalena Palace.
