La Salvé (Laredo)
La Salvé is Laredo's long town beach on Cantabria's eastern coast, running from the old port to the sand point (Puntal de Laredo) that closes off the Bay of Santoña. It handles a wide range of wind directions and is popular with intermediate/advanced Cantabrian riders, though it gets crowded with swimmers in summer.
