Info
A unique flora for a Natural Monument
Penarronda beach is shared by the councils of Castropol, Barres, and Tapia de Casariego, Santa Gadía. Divided by the stream of the same name, Penarronda is unique: its flora includes Malcomia littorea, i.e. sea wallflower, a species in danger of extinction, which is not found anywhere else in Asturias.
It also stands out for its singular beauty, in the shape of an elongated shell and with a round rock in the centre that gives its name to the beach. It has good facilities, is windy and has strong waves, which makes it perfect for surfing.
In Tapia de Casariego it can be reached via Santa Gadía and in Castropol via the town of Barres.
It is part of the Río Eo, Oscos and Terras de Burón Biosphere Reserve.
