You will be surprised by its shapes and landscapes and its crystal-clear waters, which turn each visit into a unique and different day, especially its proximity to the mountains, as well as its different attractions depending on the tides.

The Asturian coastline, the best preserved in the country due to its undeveloped beaches and the control of buildings on the coastal strip, offers a unique natural environment with many possibilities. In winter you can become a luxury spectator and capture the fierceness of the sea in your photographs; and in summer you can enjoy a relaxing day in the sun and the therapeutic benefits of a saltwater bath in a privileged setting.

In addition to the recognition of the local population and tourists, the excellence of the beaches along the Asturian coastline is endorsed by the twelve blue flags awarded by the European Foundation for Environmental Education and by numerous quality seals. Asturias offers easily accessible natural spaces, with car parks, services, recreational areas and nearby tourist accommodation.

The beaches of the west, the wildest and most natural

The closest beach to the Eo estuary, Arnao (Castropol), offers fantastic views of the Cantabrian coast; and surfing enthusiasts especially enjoy Penarronda (between Castropol and Tapia de Casariego) and Anguileiro (Tapia de Casariego), one of the most highly valued spots in the area, as well as Frejulfe, in Navia, which stands out for the influence of the tides and its darker sand. In the council of Valdés, Otur beach is another tourist attraction in the west, as is Luarca beach, which is sheltered from the strong waves, while Cadavedo beach, also known as Ribeirona, is notable for its peculiar shape. In Cudillero, the Concha de Artedo, one of the most special beaches in Asturias due to its rocky shape, and El Silencio, another sandy area of great beauty, protected by cliffs, stand out.

The beaches of the centre: sandbanks, dunes, rocks and seaside towns

The central stretch of Asturias, with Peñes as the most northerly point, boasts beaches such as Aguilar, with golden sand and surrounded by large rocks that make it very attractive.

The extensive sandy area of Los Quebrantos, at the mouth of the river Nalón; the long urban façade of Salinas (Castrillón), a reference point for surf lovers; the dunes of the beautiful surroundings of Xagó (Gozón), and Xivares (Carreño), ideal for all kinds of public. In Gijón/Xixón, the great maritime city, the beach of San Lorenzo, one of the most popular in the Principality and which runs between the Cerro de Santa Catalina and the river Piles; Poniente, an excellent artificial sandy area created on the site of an old shipyard next to the marina, and L'Arbeyal, the scene of numerous sporting events, stand out.

The beaches of the east: golden sands and unique spots

The Oriente is characterised by its fine, golden sands in surroundings of unquestionable beauty. This area is home to many of the beaches recognised as the most beautiful in Spain. The spectacular Rodiles, at the mouth of the Villaviciosa estuary, and La Griega(Colunga), with its famous dinosaur footprints, are just a few of them.

In Llanes, Gulpiyuri is a peculiar and singular beach separated by rocks and vegetation that receives the water through an underground conduit; Buelna, a natural and familiar cove, and Po, with the peculiarity of its protected and calm waters. There are sandy areas of special singularity such as the nearby bufones de Pría, Arenillas and Santiuste. These are some of the examples of the richness of the eastern area, such as the beach of La Franca, popular since the 19th century for its old seaside resort, in the part closest to the Tina Mayor estuary.
