Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de El Cuerno (Asturias) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa de El Cuerno (Asturias) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa de El Cuerno for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Beach next to Salinas, quiet area It has its own parking It is a small beach, made of stones and with access by stairs.

Mariana Suárez Recio

There is only a beach at low tide. It is made of stones, you have to be careful when walking and also that the water does not block your way to the stairs to be able to return. You can go up and down the area that goes to the anchors (through the rocks/land) but it is complicated. Furthermore, the earth is reddish and stained.

It is a very small beach, next to Salinas. When the tide rises it disappears. It is made of stones, it does not have any sand. When you see it from the Paseo, it is beautiful, with strong tides, you can hear the sound of the stones colliding with each other, and the sea wets the Paseo. It has a small parking lot.

Alicia de Mendieta

It is not recommended for the bathroom, it is dangerous due to currents. You can walk at low tide but in general you have to watch when the water rises, as the beach is completely covered. It is more of a cove between stones. It has access by stairs.

A good place to 🔉🔊🌊 when the waves reach the shore and remove the rounded stones. You can get there easily as there is a parking lot right in front of the stairs that lead to access. It doesn't seem suitable for swimming but the sound of the waves makes up for it.
