Fantastic experience: ATTENTION: there is a tide. The water is sometimes further away. It is a very special arch-shaped beach. There are large waves of 2/3 meters. The water is about 20 degrees Celsius. The beach is quite large and there are many people. There are two showers. The nearest parking is paid (5€).
Negative experience: THIEVES. They fine you €200 for parking on a road full of cars that serves as access to the beach with poor signage. They take advantage of fining at the time when people normally leave the beach in an area with barely any signage. I don't plan to buy even a bottle of water in Llanes, there are a thousand better places to go where you don't feel cheated.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach but quite crowded, the parking is private and you have to pay.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful place at high tide, also at low tide but you have to walk a little bit. It's not accessible for going with children and strollers.
Negative experience: Beware of fines. The town hall of Llanes fines you everywhere, dirt paths to go to the beaches, etc. It's incredible, I visited for 1 day and I received three fines of €200 each.

Negative experience: Dogs on the beach are a mess.
Positive experience: Small beach and it gets crowded, so there is hardly any space to lay down a towel. It's like a pool; you can go into the water until you're tired without it covering you. There is a lifeguard service, and dogs are not allowed.
Fantastic experience: Rocky beach with fine sand in Póo de Llanes. If there is a no parking sign on both sides and you park and get fined... SURPRISE. You couldn't know. There are fields enabled as paid parking to avoid fines. Because banging the car on the edge of the road, hindering traffic, doesn't really make much sense. At high tide, it looks like a lake surrounded by vegetation; there is little space to settle and if there are spring tides, even less. At low tide, there are many days with waves. Dogs are not allowed during bathing season.
Positive experience: Rocamar, perfecto muyamables y admite mascotas. Gracias Eva
Negative experience: Muy mal como todas nada de perros, las playas de Asturias muy bonitas pero poco prácticas.

Fantastic experience: A river meets a large beach of fine sand surrounded by vegetation and grazing cows. It was spectacular to be able to visit it.
Fantastic experience: This beach is amazing. Beautiful water and the water was very calm, very soft sand. We came here by foot from Celorio, it took us about 1 hour. We saw a small parking lot next to the beach.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, we were expecting it to be smaller, it was a real discovery and we decided to take a walk that led us to a viewpoint on the cliff, fine sand without rocks.
Fantastic experience: September 29. Amazing cove! Super calm and crystal clear waters. Highly recommended for those who love paddle surfing! The tide needs to be low for there to be sand, around 5:00 PM there was almost none left.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach ️️a true paradise in the Asturian East with easy access to the beach, white sand, and its uniquely special environment. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach. We were pleasantly surprised and felt very comfortable. With several nearby restaurants to grab something.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. I highly recommend it. Here, you feel real nature. The beach has restaurants, but it is a very quiet and nice place. There are hotels nearby where you can stay.
Fantastic experience: Wow, beautiful views, seeing how the sea comes into land and forms a beach worth seeing and its restaurant with high views while having something fantastic to drink.
Fantastic experience: Beach to enjoy with children, observe the tides and enjoy the natural pools left by the cove. We arrived at 1 PM and it wasn't until 6:30 PM that it covered part of the nearby sandy area, but you can still take a swim by walking. The private parking costs 5 euros for the whole day. There is a restaurant that also serves coffee to go. Ideal for spending the day with kids who have a great time, clear water and schools of fish, although you have to keep in mind the cost of parking.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach in the heart of nature, it is small and secluded. It has little wave action and shallow waters, making it perfect for swimming and spending a morning or an afternoon enjoying this wonder and relaxing. Among the ones I have visited, it seems to be one of the prettiest beaches in Asturias. There are two restaurants at this beach. Access is easy as you can drive to the private parking lot they have, which costs 5 euros for the whole day, regardless of how long you stay because it is a flat fee. Personally, I find it excessive, so I recommend leaving the car in the village since you only have to walk 10 minutes to the beach and it's a fantastic walk.

Positive experience: Ideal para ir con niños. Con baja mar se hacen charquitos donde se lo pasan genial. Limpieza: muy buena. Servicio de socorrista: sí. Acceso: hay que bajar escaleras, pero no están mal. Duchas: Sí. Aparcamiento: Sí Precio de aparcamiento: 4€ Restaurantes: Sí. Uno de ellos es La Farola, muy recomendable, comida y servicio muy bueno.
Negative experience: La playa es bonita pero está llena de gente. No se mantiene la distancia de seguridad y nadie controla el aforo. Una vergüenza con los contagios que hay que no haya medidas de control.
Positive experience: Preciosa, pero masificada en verano. Aquí la separación de seguridad no existe. Hay centímetros entre personas. Hay que parar con el coche antes, o bien aparcar en los parqiinfa de pago que hay poco antes. El agua está helada almenos para mi que soy mediterráneo. Pero un bañito rápido y un refresco en el restaurante que hay escaleras arriba.
Positive experience: Facil de acceso, parking en un prado, bar a pie de playa, salvavidas y alquiler de paddel surf
Fantastic experience: Playa muy tranquila, ideal para estar con niños ya que apenas hay oleaje especialmente cuando la marea está alta. Hay dos bares-restaurantes y en verano hay socorrista. Acceso fácil y aparcamiento libre y también de pago.

The water is about 20 degrees Celsius. The beach is quite large and there are many people. There are two showers. The nearest parking is paid (5€).
Fantastic experience: Our first time this Sunday and it was spectacular. The warm water was something else. At first, we were scared because we couldn't see water anywhere. But then around 14:15 the tide started coming in and we actually had to move twice. Spectacular, great for family, amazing. We will repeat.
Fantastic experience: A beach that makes you want to have a family so Grandma can walk around on the flat beach, your youngest son can safely play in the shallow waters, and aunt Becky can go to the bar. Personally I liked the little hike up to get a great vantage point of the Beach. Oh yeah, and did I mention the joy of Siri directing us to the beach, saying, 'in 200 meters turn right on Poo.' What a funny name!

Fantastic experience: Magnífica playa en Santander. Aunque no tiene chiringuito es fantástica para hacer surf

Positive experience: Playa ideal para snorkel cuando la marea está alta. Lo único es que cuando sube, el espacio de arena se reduce tanto que acabamos todos muy juntos. No doy 5 porq cuando fui había grandes montañas de algas y...entre la apretura de la gente, niños etc....un tractor y un camión maniobrando para retirarlas....con el peligro q conlleva...Espero q cuando vuelva...no haya que encoger los pies para que te pase un tractor...eso en hora punta.

Positive experience: It is a nice and quiet family beach, we had a picnic in the company of several seagulls. It was very fun.
Fantastic experience: Por la mañana es una playa, a medio día es otra diferente y por la tarde desaparece. Es preciosa. El agua, arena y las rocas para disfrutar del sol, buceo y demás. Dos restaurantes espectaculares
Fantastic experience: He estado alojada en el Llanes Internacional Hostel , muy cercano a la playa de Po. Se puede acceder caminando por varias sendas a través del campo. Me encanta este lugar, baño espectacular mientras contemplas las vistas de los picos de Europa. Es muy lúdica porque conforme va subiendo la marea las olas son cada vez más grandes y es muy divertido. La playa es muy familiar y se puede pasear por ella ya que es muy extensa. Se pueden visitar cuevas por las rocas. Un lujo de playa que te llenará de energía si te bañas en sus aguas, mejor si sale el sol. Si te apetece caminar subir por su colina te gustará porque las vistas son muy bonitas.
Fantastic experience: Espectacular playa. En marea alta perfecta para los niños. En marea baja divertida

Positive experience: Una playa muy bonita y recomendable sin ninguna duda. Cambia mucho su aspecto según la marea, hay que tener en cuenta esto ya que algunas actividades como kayak o padel surf requieren que la marea esté alta. Hay dos bares donde tomar algo. En general muy buen sitio.

The water is about 20 degrees Celsius. The beach is quite large and there are many people. There are two showers. The nearest parking is paid (5€).
Fantastic experience: The best beach I've visited so far in my life in Spain. It completely stole my heart!!! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful at low tide
Positive experience: Great for kids but packed with people and lots of seaweed.
Fantastic experience: Ideal beach for being with small children. Mouth of the Poo estuary to the sea. You have to walk a lot for it to start covering you. You also have to keep in mind that it changes a lot from high tide to low tide. I advise going at high tide.
Positive experience: Small beach and it gets crowded, so there is hardly any space to lay down a towel. It's like a pool; you can go into the water until you're tired without it covering you. There is a lifeguard service, and dogs are not allowed.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. I highly recommend it. Here, you feel real nature. The beach has restaurants, but it is a very quiet and nice place. There are hotels nearby where you can stay.
Positive experience: It's very beautiful, but we went on the first weekend of August after lunch, and it was crowded with many children. If you're looking for tranquility during high season, look for another beach.
Negative experience: THIEVES. They fine you €200 for parking on a road full of cars that serves as access to the beach with poor signage. They take advantage of fining at the time when people normally leave the beach in an area with barely any signage.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful!
Positive experience: Beautiful beach but quite crowded, the parking is private and you have to pay.
Fantastic experience: Wow. What a beautiful place!
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful place at high tide, also at low tide but you have to walk a little bit. It's not accessible for going with children and strollers.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach and surroundings. Very pleasant to visit with children.
Fantastic experience: An amazing beach. Recommended for swimming. You have to walk a lot for it to cover.
Positive experience: We had a great time. We caught it at low tide. Very sheltered and peaceful.
Fantastic experience: A river meets a large beach of fine sand surrounded by vegetation and grazing cows. It was spectacular to be able to visit it.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous, worth visiting, and see it with the low tide and then high tide.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with calm waters, a short walk from the village.
Negative experience: Beware of fines. The town hall of Llanes fines you everywhere, dirt paths to go to the beaches, etc. It's incredible, I visited for 1 day and I received three fines of €200 each.
Fantastic experience: Very spacious, it's wonderful for walking or playing. You can stroll, the tide is generally low and very comfortable for being with children.
Negative experience: I couldn't even see it, like almost everything in Asturias there is nowhere to park.
Fantastic experience: It's a really cool beach where the water is a bit cold but it's worth it. The water is totally crystal clear. There is also a walkway to see the beach from above, where I took the attached photo. The only downside is that when it's hot, it gets crowded.
Fantastic experience: Very quiet and safe beach, like a swimming pool
Fantastic experience: Very sheltered from any wind, beautiful little cove, a bit out of the way so not crowded, well at least on 21st April
Fantastic experience: This beach is amazing. Beautiful water and the water was very calm, very soft sand. We came here by foot from Celorio, it took us about 1 hour. We saw a small parking lot next to the beach.
Fantastic experience: A quiet place, peace.
Positive experience: Very good beach, normal. They say that in Llanes they have the best beaches in the north, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Genuinely one of the most incredible beaches I have ever been to. Kinda smells like poo tho
Positive experience: Very nice, beautiful scenery all around.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, we were expecting it to be smaller, it was a real discovery and we decided to take a walk that led us to a viewpoint on the cliff, fine sand without rocks.
Fantastic experience: Magnificent Caribbean-style beach surrounded by mountains and green, great for children due to its calm waters, especially during high tide. It's advisable to go on foot, especially outside of the season, as parking is very difficult.
Positive experience: It is a nice and quiet family beach, we had a picnic in the company of several seagulls. It was very fun.
Fantastic experience: September 29. Amazing cove! Super calm and crystal clear waters. Highly recommended for those who love paddle surfing! The tide needs to be low for there to be sand, around 5:00 PM there was almost none left.
Fantastic experience: What a beautiful place... Unique and amazing.
Fantastic experience: A very calm beach, ideal for going with children.
Negative experience: Very disappointing, it felt like a puddle. The water was very dirty and there were a lot of algae. After two hours, it was out of water.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach to go with children. Easy access and flat areas to go with kids.
Positive experience: Very good beach, perfect for spending the day with family
Fantastic experience: A spectacular beach, especially for going with kids.
Fantastic experience: Wow, beautiful views, seeing how the sea comes into land and forms a beach worth seeing and its restaurant with high views while having something fantastic to drink.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach ️️a true paradise in the Asturian East with easy access to the beach, white sand, and its uniquely special environment. Recommended.

Dogs are not allowed during bathing season.
Fantastic experience: My favorite beach in northern Spain. It's incredible to see it at low tide, but even more incredible to see it at high tide. It's a lagoon of saltwater. Spectacular.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach between cliffs with a double inner beach. One of my favorites, perfect to visit after lunch, having first visited Gulpiyuri beach in the morning. For those who complain about the fines they received for not leaving their car in the parking lot because it was full or for leaving it wherever they want... no matter how much they believe they are not bothering or that 'others' did too, it is just as childish as saying that the teacher is picking on me. If your blessed audacity wants to park next to it, go to the pool with parking. The farthest you could leave the car, even in the center of the village, would be a 10-minute walk. If you want it next to a road where it is NOT allowed, and you get hit with a 200 euro fine, hold the armorer accountable, I feel zero pity. For the ignorant who don’t know what a tide is and say that there is no water at 12, they should wait, as after low tide, the water rises again. They should hold the moon accountable, and find an ocean where it doesn’t happen. It’s just like those who say there are seaweeds. Wow! What will be next? Trees on the mountain? They should go to Punta Cana, I'll have more space here and less crowding. There are people who aren’t fit to leave home or travel. Or who travel the world but the world doesn’t travel for them. If they have a mobile phone to come and spout nonsense, they have the phone to check the tide times of the beaches (but maybe they can’t manage that).
Positive experience: It is impressive how extensive it is and the difference between high and low tide is very noticeable, but the fact that it is all full of seaweed spoils the environment quite a bit, mainly due to the smell.
Fantastic experience: Natural pool where the sea is not visible. Great beach. Little sand and little parking. A gentleman has set up a parking lot for €5. The police pass by from time to time, be careful with fines.
Positive experience: Ideal beach for children. But the tide must align at the right time to fully enjoy it. The estuary, which should be a magical place, is an area of unpleasant smells and mud, and it makes one think about the water quality at the beach...
Fantastic experience: A lovely beach, with wonderful tides, very nice views.
Positive experience: A beautiful beach, perfect for going with small children due to the shallow waters. Tip: when the tide is at its highest, there isn't much sand to stay on, so it's better to go when the tide is going down to enjoy the beach and the sand and play ball or paddle with the little ones...
Fantastic experience: Incredible beach to relax and enjoy without strong waves
Negative experience: Average. Many people occupy the available space when the tide rises. When it's low, if you want to walk towards the mouth of the river, the stench in that muddy area is unbearable and the ground is dark. There are better options in Llanes.
Fantastic experience: Beach to enjoy with children, observe the tides and enjoy the natural pools left by the cove. We arrived at 1 PM and it wasn't until 6:30 PM that it covered part of the nearby sandy area, but you can still take a swim by walking. The private parking costs 5 euros for the whole day. There is a restaurant that also serves coffee to go. Ideal for spending the day with kids who have a great time, clear water and schools of fish, although you have to keep in mind the cost of parking.
Fantastic experience: Incredible beach, recommended for children. Once the tide goes out, it can be deceptive and leaves a lot of ground uncovered, but when it comes back in, it creates a kind of pool covering the entire wet area of the zone.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach in the heart of nature, it is small and secluded. It has little wave action and shallow waters, making it perfect for swimming and spending a morning or an afternoon enjoying this wonder and relaxing. Among the ones I have visited, it seems to be one of the prettiest beaches in Asturias. There are two restaurants at this beach.

Personally, I find it excessive, so I recommend leaving the car in the village since you only have to walk 10 minutes to the beach and it's a fantastic walk.
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful and safe beach one of many along the spanish north coast, our grandchildren loved swimming here and spent time chasing shoals of fish right on the beach. Visited in August, plenty of parking nearby very reasonably priced.
Fantastic experience: One of the many beautiful beaches with scenic ocean views.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach in an esplendid natural environment. Go when the tide is high to enjoy the most wonderful sights. Definitely one of the most beautiful beaches in the region!
Positive experience: Lovely well used family beach, with a beach shower, parking and 2 restaurants by the beach. Go early as it can be busy, but check tides as the water comes right up at high tide.
Fantastic experience: As all of this wonderful coastline: at its most beautiful outside tourist season
Positive experience: Great location with beautiful sandy beach and rocks
Fantastic experience: The place is amazing but make sure to check online when the tide is high. If you go when it's low the beach will be wide and full of algae. The parking is with payment of 4 euros for the full day.
Fantastic experience: Small but lovely beach cove with fine sand and shallow paddling. Parking near the beach, and a couple of restaurants too. May be different on a busy day.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful blue sea, sea goes pretty far out so lots of sandy area & rock pools/small caves to explore. We went in October & were almost the only ones there. Pleasant walk from Llanes to get there.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful little beach with two cafe/restaurants. Large parking area (charges during peak) on the approach road.
Fantastic experience: Great little beach. Went at the end of July expecting it to be crowded but there was plenty of space. When the tide is out there's a big expanse of wet sand that is great for very young children.
