Beaches in Asturias that have pebbles
Dos Botes & El TesónCastropol, Asturias
I will write about both beaches in the same post because Dos Botes beach and El Tesón island have similar fates and are also neighbors. The peculiarity is that these are not 2 beaches like others I “paired” before, Dos Botes is a rocky beach but El Tesón is actually a sand island. They both […]
Del Cabo (Busto)Valdés, Asturias
Although Cape Busto is a very well know and popular place in Asturias (and in Spain), very few people actually know the name of all the beaches surrounding it even though there is a coastal trail that links all of them (the PR-AS4 trail). Maybe that happens because a lot of these beaches and coves […]
ArnelaCastropol, Asturias

RepresasTapia de Casariego, Asturias

Maybe because it’s not centric or because it’s a beach of pebbles and boulders (and almost no sand) it seems to […]
L’AirínCudillero, Asturias
A mainly pebbly beach where the color of the sand has various beautiful shades, L’Airín is separated from the beach of Salencia by the islet of Fariñon. L’Airín beach is visited almost exclusively by the people of the village of Novellana because the descent is long, winding, tricky and slippery when wet. There is also […]
CuevaValdés, Asturias
This wide beach of pebbles and sand, where the River Esva (also known as Canero) flows into, is part of the West Coast Protected Landscape Area. It’s limited on its Western side by the impressive stretch of quartz that is the Busto Cape and it’s located right in the village of Cueva. People also call […]
ArraRibadesella, Asturias
Arra is the last beach in the municipality of Ribadesella, running along the bottom of windswept cliffs battered by the sea, in an area where sandy beaches are nonexistent. This beach shows up on all guides and maps, being promoted by the local tourism board. But really, REALLY finding it is almost impossible, for 2 […]
