This is one of my preferred spots along the coastline. The scenery is absolutely stunning!
The town of Isla in Cantabria boasts a stunning beach with fine brown sand, crystal clear waters, and breathtaking views. It's the perfect spot for a vacation or some much-needed rest and relaxation. The beach also offers several walking paths in the surrounding area. I highly recommend it! Best wishes to all.
I had a horrible day at Riss Playa. The Flysch was abysmal to behold and touch. All I could see was the ugliness of Mother Nature. I loathed it. The parking lot was right in front of the beach, and behind the main beach was another part specifically for dogs. I wouldn't recommend going there unless you're a fan of desolate and non-touristy places. I visited in September and it was a terrible experience.
This long beach is full of sand, but don't expect too much from it. The water is shallow and when the tide recedes, kids can scamper over and collect some little black crabs. If you're looking for a seat, locals will bring their own chairs and umbrellas, but you can rent some too. There's a small library for those who forgot their books or want to catch up on the news. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, but if you want to grab some roast chicken to go, you'd better order it two hours in advance.
That place is far from being great. The parking is free, but the sand isn't as beautiful as it could be and the color of the water isn't anything special. The caves on the right side are quite disappointing. If you do decide to go, make sure it's during low tide; otherwise, you won't get to see the cliffs and caves.
