The Luanco Beach Tennis Tournament is a sporting and cultural event that takes place in Lluanco/Luanco, the capital of the Gozón municipality. Its rich history dates back to the early 1970s, and since then, although with some interruptions, it has been held on La Ribera beach, being the only exhibition tennis tournament organized on the sandy shore during low tide.
Bleachers with a capacity exceeding 2,000 people are set up on the beach, and together with the natural conditions of the environment, the capacity can reach almost 3,000 spectators. Additionally, the venue has artificial lighting for matches to be played at night.
