Playa de los Locos, or Los Locos Beach, is a picturesque coastal gem nestled in the town of Suances, in the region of Cantabria, Spain. The beach is renowned for its surfing potential, attracting surf enthusiasts from all over Spain.
Spanning a length of 350 meters and a width of 10 meters, the beach is characterized by its golden sand and pebbles, flanked by cliffs. Its dynamic natural landscape is subject to the tide's influence, transforming the beach's appearance throughout the day.

However, visitors should be cautious of submerged rocks at the bay's ends and the strong current across the beach during high tide.
The beach offers a variety of amenities for the comfort of its visitors. These include public toilets, freshwater showers, and trash bins, ensuring that the beach remains clean and convenient for everyone. Lifeguards are also stationed on the beach, providing safety measures for beachgoers and advising them to stay within the area marked by their flags. Dining options are also available, with a selection of restaurants close to the beach.
