Playa de Amio is amazing - when the tide is out, it's even more expansive, and you can walk out to the rocks that are usually submerged.

Great when the tide is out, but when it's in, there's no beach to be seen. You can take a dip, but be mindful of the bay's shape and the rocks beneath the surface. I'd suggest avoiding this beach in August, since that's when the temporary car parks appear and charge 3 euros.

This spot is truly stunning - it's one of the best I've ever visited! It has golden, fine sand that makes it even more special.

That place is stunning and offers an interesting aspect where two seas meet. The sand is lovely and the way in is easy to access, although it can be quite steep in places. It's great fun and a truly stunning place to visit.
