How to get from Santander to Playa del Puntal (Somo)
One option is to go directly to Somo and from there walk to the beach as we explain in our blog at the following link: “How to get from Santander to Somo”
The best option to get from Santander to Playa del Puntal is by taking the ferry or boat that departs from the Santander pier. In the summer, trips run every 15-20 minutes, with the last trip in the late afternoon (be sure to check the schedule).
The ferry is operated by Los Reginas and the ticket costs about 5.5 EUR (round trip) or 3.50 EUR (one way) for a journey of about 15-20 minutes.

Important recommendations before you go to El Puntal Beach:
This beach is quite wild, so there are certain recommendations before you go:
- Check the schedule for the last boat and keep your ticket for the return trip.
- Bring water and food (although you can buy them at the beach bar there).
- Bring sun protection, something to cover yourself with, and if storms or rain are expected, something to protect yourself.
- The boat allows dogs, but it’s best to inquire before you go.
- There are toilets at the beach bar right where the boat drops you off.
- There is a strong current in this area, so be careful where you swim and always follow the lifeguards’ instructions (look at the flags: red means no swimming, yellow means swim with caution, and green means it’s safe to swim).
