Beaches in Asturias where you can get away from it all

Principality of Asturias

Asturias is a real spectacle for the eyes thanks to its natural landscapes. But out of all of them, perhaps the most magical are those where the green of the vegetation meets the blue of the sea. We'll show you some of the beaches where you can switch off and really relax.

El Silencio beach

This beach is half a kilometre long and lies at the foot of a cliff. And as its name suggests, after descending a hundred steps and stepping on its boulders, you will find an amazing tranquillity between cliffs.

Gulpiyuri beach

This is a very special little beach . It is only 50 metres long, but has been declared a Natural Monument. This is an inland beach, where the seawater tunnels between the cliffs until it reaches this small area of fine sand.

Cuevas de Mar beach

A beach in the shape of a shell surrounded by high cliffs; so far, everything you'd expect from a beach in Asturias. But wait until the tide goes out, because it's then that you'll see the cliffs transform into caves. This is also a protected area thanks to its plant life and geology.

Poó beach

What's most amazing of this beach is that it's difficult to see the horizon, because the cliffs get in the way. These same rock formations are what keeps the water so calm, perfect for a relaxing dip. Located right at the mouth of the Vallina River, when the tide comes in it's worth watching how the sea encroaches on the river.The beauty of the beaches in Asturias is the way that nature meets with the sea. Here you're sure to find the perfect beach to relax and unwind.
