The Cantabrian Sea is absolutely wonderful for fishing, towards the Santander area There are also charming spaces to make very good casts throughout the year.
But even on the promenades, fishing usually goes perfectly, so much so that it is not uncommon to see fishermen doing sessions scattered here and there along the entire coast and bay of Santander for much of the year.
Best fishing spots in Santander
Puntal Beach
Let's start with Puntal Beach, an excellent area for walks without so many tourists and the crowds that these usually bring. Located in the town of Somo, to which access by car is not possible.
For fishermen, recommended area is the one near the river, since it is very good for fishing species as diverse as sea bream or sea bass.
Another very good space near the beach is the zone of the canal, since it is quite nourished in fish of different types such as sea bass.
To get there, you can leave from the port of Santander in a boat that can take you and bring you back without much difficulty.
El Sardinero Beach
At own urban center of Santander, Between Cabo Menor and Magdalena we find this beautiful and quite wide beach.
Among its benefits we have that it has moderate winds and waves and that its fine sand is really perfect to lie down to the sound on those long and relaxed summer days.
For fishermen, it is also a space where fishing is possible, especially if we go to the sides, quite far from the tourists.
Santander Bay
The bay as such has various spaces for fishing, among the most outstanding are:
- Minor Cape
- Cape Major
- The walk of the Bay of Santander
- Paseo de Pereda
Fishing trips from Santander
This is one good experience for anyone who wants to get away from the coast and look for opportunities in the middle of the bay or go directly to the sea.
There are various opportunities with the charters that depart from the different ports, always seeking to make interesting days in search of those specimens that are really worth taking out of these special waters.
Fishing from the Raos Marina
We finish with this other sector that is very good for fishing, especially for local fans. There are good spaces to position yourself and let the rod do its job and allow some sea bream or other curious fish to come for some bait.
Undoubtedly, fishing in Santander, as in all of Cantabria, is quite interesting and fun, all you have to do is select your spot and let the fish decide if they will give you the opportunity that day or not.
In any case, the walks throughout Santander are worth it, whether on foot, by car or by choosing a boat to go out for our catch of the day.
