The eastern coast of Cantabria hides one of the most unique settings for outdoor horse riding: Regatón Beach and the protected forest that surrounds it. This horseback route combines over two kilometres of fine sand with natural trails through oak and eucalyptus woodland, offering an experience that goes far beyond a simple equestrian stroll.
The activity is designed for all levels, from first-timers to riders with previous experience. Horses are gentle and matched to each participant's profile; the youngest riders have access to ponies suited to their size, making this an ideal outing for families with children from 5–6 years old. Groups are kept to between 4 and 6 people, ensuring personalised attention and a comfortable pace for everyone.
Throughout the route, the landscape shifts constantly: the sound of waves and sea breeze accompany the beach section, while the shade of the coastal forest provides a cool, peaceful contrast along the inland trails. It's a way to discover Laredo's natural surroundings from a different perspective — on horseback and away from the usual tourist crowds.
All necessary equipment is included: a certified helmet, protective vest, boots or gaiters, and a crop if needed. No prior experience or special fitness level is required; all you need is a willingness to enjoy the surroundings and follow the guide's instructions. The route runs year-round, adapting to the conditions of each season.
Whether you're looking for a different family activity, a romantic getaway as a couple, or an original outing with friends, this equestrian route in Laredo blends nature, tranquillity and connection with horses in a truly privileged coastal setting.
