It’s is a perfect holiday spot for someone who enjoys swimming in the beach and hiking mountains alike. 

This town is the centre for many myths and legends. One such local legend is that Noah’s Ark washed up on one of the mountains nearby. If you are interested in history, then there is Isla San Pedruco, where the hermitage of San Pedruco lies.

Beaches of Noja

If you are in Noja, then you MUST visit the beaches. It has two famous sandy beaches that are popular with families, Playa de Tregandin and Playa de Ris. 

Playa de Ris

This 4km long golden sandy beach is a family-friendly beach. This beach is known for water sports such as surfing, SUP and canoeing. Playa de Ris can get rather busy during the popular month, especially on the weekends. 

It has many rock pools and is great for swimming because of its shallow waters. At low tide, you are able to walk across to the Isla San Pedro.

Playa de Tregandin

Playa de Tregandin stretches for about 6kms making in one of the longest beaches in Cantabria. It is located down the hill from the church of San Pedro. During low, it will uncover a rock formation which juts out to the sea. Also, many rock pools will emerge during low tide, creating a great opportunity to explore. Playa de Tregandin has long stretches of shallow water, and because of that, this beach is excellent for swimming. The crystal-clear water offers a perfect opportunity for snorkelling and scuba diving. You can also feed the fish here on this beach.

This very long beach is also one of the quietest beaches in Cantabria so much so that a section of it is allowed to be a nude beach. 

Isla San Pedro

During the low tide, you can walk across to the Isla san Pedro, the highest point of Noja. This is also the home to the hermitage of San Pedro. This beautiful chapel is entangled in the overgrown bushes and cannot be reached otherwise, but that makes it even more fascinating. The legend surrounding Isla San Pedro says that the image of San Pedro was kept in the chapel and that it was brought to Noja town church for prayers. It says that, on the day that this did not happen, there was a huge wave that crashed over the town.

Rock Formations

The combination of low tide and the sunset makes a beautiful sight of the rock formations putting them on full display. If you’d like a better view of these rock formations, then you can climb to the viewpoint on the clifftop at the far end of Playa de Tregandin.
