Fantastic experience: Beautiful surroundings, wide beach, plenty of parking, pine forest with picnic areas providing lots of shade, bars... highly, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Big and wide beach, a lot of sandy area even with high tide. Next to the beach, there is a whole wooden promenade and an area of trees with picnic tables. The parking area is not very large, so it's advisable to arrive early. There is also a bar in the parking area.
Fantastic experience: Rodiles Beach, in Villaviciosa, is a spectacular and very popular spot in the Principality of Asturias, especially if you want to enjoy a beach day with children. With over a kilometer in length and 300 meters wide, it offers ample sandy areas and a large grove of pine and eucalyptus trees with picnic areas. Ideal for families, the beach has multiple services, such as showers, public restrooms, and lifeguards. Access is good, with parking available, also for persons with reduced mobility, and a wooden walkway that runs along the stream. It is known for its waves, perfect for surfing. A magnificent place to spend the day surrounded by nature.
Negative experience: After the century rodeo and finally getting there, impossible to park. What a shame.
Fantastic experience: Spacious, democratic, with the perfect waves for a dip, wooded area with tables for a nice picnic, huge parking, bar, restrooms… for me, it's just right for enjoying a good beach day.

Negative experience: No se puede pecnortar con furgo o autocaravana de 23 a 08h, multan. Perros prohibidos… todo prohibiciones aun que la playa es chula, eso sí, ven pronto si quieres aparcar.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular mountain beach with plenty of space and an eucalyptus area with picnic spots to spend time with dogs, as access to the beach is prohibited for them.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in the country. Parking, restaurants, a pine forest with picnic areas, great sand, waves, walks... the only downside is that they don't allow dogs at certain times.
Positive experience: This is a really nice beach. It's long, it's wide. There's plenty of space and only a few international visitors. It's a fun place, a safe place with lots of families. The beach itself is very nice, but also the woods backing the beach is a nice area for people who prefer some cool shade and some quiet. There is plenty of free parking all along the way, but keep in mind that in high season they still fill up fast! There's a bunch of restaurants to fill your hungry stomach. Also bathroom/shower facilities. And then the part we liked best: a nice boardwalk all along the beach. It goes on for miles. Dogs are also allowed on there. Perfect for folks who need some walks like us. Loved it.
Fantastic experience: It's very nice for walking with dogs

Fantastic experience: If you go early, it is possible to find a spot. We went to the children's area near the rocks, but generally, the beach is very spacious. There is space for everyone. The bad thing is wanting to get something to drink at the bars and beach huts, during peak hours it's impossible.
Fantastic experience: Big and wide beach, a lot of sandy area even with high tide. Next to the beach, there is a whole wooden promenade and an area of trees with picnic tables. The parking area is not very large, so it's advisable to arrive early. There is also a bar in the parking area.

Fantastic experience: La playa de Rodiles es un referente en Asturias para los amantes del sol, cuando quiere salir claro está y de los que practican surf. Es una playa muy larga y con arena fina. Zona de Baños y socorristas en temporada de verano. Hay diversos restaurantes. Pero recomiendo comer en los merenderos que hay anexos a la playa con zona de sombra gracias a los eucaliptos. Eso sí, cuidado con las olas y la resaca del mar.
Fantastic experience: Playa grande, de arena fina, con mucha variación en las mareas q hace q por las mañanas haya mucho espacio d arena húmeda en la que se forman charcas idealesmapra que los más pequeños jueguen y se valen sin peligro. Hay zona específica para surf y zona de baño, normalmente con olas que hacen muy divertido el baño. Tiene sillas d agua para discapacitados d Cruz roja. En las entradas hay un bosque de eucaliptos con merenderos, chiringuitos y parking gratuito. Es muy buena opción ya que ahora mismo se puede guardar perfectamente la distancia d seguridad sin problema. Hay mucho espacio

Rodiles Beach: Reviews
Fantastic experience: SPECTACULAR
Negative experience: Hostile surf locals

Fantastic experience: A nice, family-friendly beach with fine sand
Positive experience: To have a blue flag, it leaves a lot to be desired. The showers at the beach are outdated. The bathrooms close at 7:30 and are very small for what this beach is. We need to learn a bit from those in the south..

Fantastic experience: La playa una pasada, el entorno muy bien cuidado, un paseo de madera que a mí parecer está recién puesto. Típica playa surfera con un arenal muy grande, muy buenos accesos y el parking es bastante grande

Fantastic experience: A paradise-like place, I recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Asturias, how beautiful it is.
Positive experience: A very good beach if you like to surf
Positive experience: Beach with almost all services in operation. Pleasant day as the crowds typical of the summer season have not yet started.
Fantastic experience: BEAUTIFUL!
Fantastic experience: An incredible place. A spectacular beach.
Fantastic experience: This is not the first time I come to this beach and I really enjoy being here.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, very clean and well maintained. Ideal for both taking a swim or sunbathing, or also taking a walk along the shore.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, very clean with fine golden sand and pieces of shells. It has lifeguards, showers, and services, as well as wheelchair access to the beach.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Another beach of large dimensions with a beautiful grove around it. It is very quick to get there from the Nalón area via the new I de Bimenes road.
Fantastic experience: Rodiles is beautiful at any time of the year. Pleasant walk in the estuary area with cafes and restaurants open even in winter.
Positive experience: We were at this beach off-season, a sunny day indeed, but it was a bit chilly and we couldn't swim. The kids were able to play with the sand and build castles. I liked how close the parking is, which is large, and how well-kept and clean the beach was.
Fantastic experience: Large beach with restrooms, a beach bar, and ample parking.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, very nice place. Nothing better than the sea.
Fantastic experience: Beach with everything needed to have a great day. The restaurant there serves good food.
Fantastic experience: A huge beach, with good waves, a picnic area that is in the shade, plenty of parking, and some restaurants. You can't ask for more.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in the country. Parking, restaurants, a pine forest with picnic areas, great sand, waves, walks... the only downside is that they don't allow dogs at certain times.
Fantastic experience: Plenty of spaces, good size, with a charger for electric cars. But due to the popularity of the village, it is advisable to go before 11 or 12 in the morning; otherwise, it tends to get full on weekends and during the summer, and you have to park on the roadside. However, the parking itself is very good.
Fantastic experience: Incredible beach, with an area to have a drink and rent surf equipment. Additionally, there is a large grove with tables for eating.
Positive experience: This is a really nice beach. It's long, it's wide. There's plenty of space and only a few international visitors. It's a fun place, a safe place with lots of families. The beach itself is very nice, but also the woods backing the beach is a nice area for people who prefer some cool shade and some quiet.

Also bathroom/shower facilities. And then the part we liked best: a nice boardwalk all along the beach. It goes on for miles. Dogs are also allowed on there. Perfect for folks who need some walks like us. Loved it.
Fantastic experience: It's a great beach. It has a very large picnic area, with natural shade from trees, several bars where you can buy drinks or something basic to eat. It also has a campsite, and it's the beginning of a beautiful coastal path. For me, it's one of those places where I completely disconnect and recharge my batteries on tough days. Totally recommendable.
Positive experience: Very clean.
Fantastic experience: It's very nice for walking with dogs
Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach with very good services
Positive experience: Very crowded, difficult parking but very beautiful
Fantastic experience: Great, but the access is a bit tedious due to the traffic and the width of the road.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular, difficult to park if you go later than 12:00.
Fantastic experience: Great beach and good services
Negative experience: Human ant hill. When I was there, I couldn't even park my car. It's not what I'm looking for in a vacation. Thankfully, Asturias is more than just beaches.
Positive experience: Very beautiful beach, easy access with parking and a 'chiringuito' with a lot of atmosphere very close to the beach
Fantastic experience: Very clean with little depth, calm for going with family, a good picnic area.
Fantastic experience: Very well maintained, very clean, although not everyone respects things. Most of the tables need a bit of repair, just like the wooden path that goes to Misiego. The bars in the area have prices like those on Uría street in Oviedo.
Negative experience: They had an area for motorhomes to stay overnight, but now they don't allow it anymore, which is a shame because we used to come every year to spend a few days and dine in the area. We will change our destination. Town halls should catch up by enabling motorhome areas, as other town halls in eastern Asturias have done and as is common all over Europe.
Fantastic experience: A very spacious, clean beach, easy access and a very nice atmosphere. A place to spend the afternoon.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful family-friendly beach. There is a parking area right next to it. Before reaching the beach, there is a path area surrounded by trees where you can have a picnic with wooden tables and benches. Once at the beach, there is a shower to wash off the sand. The beach is beautiful, super wide, and not overcrowded in August (compared to the Levantine beaches). Crystal clear water and fine sand. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: As a beach, everything is perfect, due to its size and the nearby greenery with tables for eating. As a suggestion for improvement, I would ask for more areas with restrooms because, as I mentioned before, this beach is quite large.
Fantastic experience: This beach is in Villaviciosa, it is very large with fine sand and has a wooden boardwalk area for walking from end to end. There is also a pine area with picnic-style tables. It has a quite large parking lot. Next to it, there is a pretty cool beach bar where you can have a drink and also eat or have a snack. On the other side, there are also restaurants; it is very complete no matter where you are. We like it a lot.
Positive experience: My favourite beach in Asturias. Would have given it a 5 if it wasn't for the horrendous crowds on sunny days in July and August.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach! Very big; not crowded at all; beautiful scenery and surroundings; free and abundant parking, as well as many amenities including bathrooms; a first aid centre; an ice cream/cold drink stand; and a restaurant/cafe. The drive down to the beach it's also lovely and scenic.
