Hidden on the western coast of Cantabria and within the municipality of Santillana del Mar, Santa Justa Beach brings together that wild beauty and authenticity so sought after in the north of Spain. A small natural gem that, beyond its golden sand, guards a small hermitage attached to the rock and the ruins of an old watchtower with breathtaking views.


The fundamental idea is to take the following route:
In the morning to Santa Justa Beach, which is one of these corners that, although the images give a good account of the spectacular nature of the place, earn much more naturally. It is a small beach, just 100 meters wide, but completely wedged between cliffs and with an added extra of spectacularity due to its small attached temple and the remains of the Medieval tower of San Telmo.

The building ofthe hermitage dating from the 16th century it's simple. Completely lacks ornaments. No need more. Its very location gives it that aura of mystery and drama that is so surprising when you see it for the first time..

 Access is by road to the parking lot at the foot of Santa Justa beach and then bya simple path that runs along the cliffs and?, after a fork, ends next to the stone building. It is impressive to observe from here the location of the temple and its true exposure to the fury of the Cantabrian Sea.

Already on the return from the visit to the hermitage of Santa justa, We can approach it along a small path or dirt road that takes us to the ruins of San Telmo standing high on the coast..
