The perfect spot to unwind in the sun. It's great for dogs too, with plenty of space and a stunning view. Be mindful of the rocks and the wood debris wall, which seem to be the result of high tides. When travelling to and from the beach, be sure to take extra care - the roads are narrow and a bit bumpy.
The beach at Luarca offers some stunning views of the town, Fonte Baxa botanical garden, the breakwater and the mountains. However, it may not be the best place for a swim. When the tide recedes, the beach is filled with algae, and when the tide rises, there is hardly any sand to be found. All that remains is a concrete bench and a ramp. also quite rocky and crowded, so if you're looking for a peaceful experience, this might not be the beach for you. I personally prefer to take photos here rather than take a dip. It's more of an urban beach, with the hustle and bustle of the town and not much of a paradise-like atmosphere. There are two areas, one narrower and one wider, near the rise of a path offering some spectacular views. The beach also has surveillance and rescue, bike parking, a fishing area, public toilets and a beach bar in its wider area
This location is a picture-perfect destination, but it can get quite crowded. Fortunately, it is open to the public with free entry.
This secluded rocky beach is a hidden gem. When I visited on a Monday in April, there were only two other people there. The view from the parking area is spectacular, and it is a relatively easy trek down to the beach, with a stone staircase that features a solid handrail for extra security. Furthermore, the beach is easily accessible, making it a great spot for a peaceful getaway.
Just a short 10-minute walk from Playa del Silencio lies this tranquil beach, though it may be a bit tricky to access. For those who are not experienced climbers, the 5-metre rope descent may be a bit daunting. But it's worth it! The views are spectacular and the journey to the beach is lined with lush greenery.
