San Lorenzo Beach

Fantastic experience: It's a beautiful place to visit!! As when the tide comes in, it eats away the beach.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach, with a very nice promenade! Very well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coastline to walk through. You can take it from San Pedro Church all the way until getting to the end. Either by the sand or by the sidewalk. There are many interesting places to stop by and enjoy it. If you go to Gijón, this is one of the most charming places to visit.

Fantastic experience: My favorite beach in the city of Gijón

Positive experience: It's great that in winter they allow dogs and still there are parts where they don't have access. Couldn't the same be done in summer so that the furry ones can enjoy the beach during that season? Part of the beach dog-friendly and part free of dogs, I think that would be better. Other than that, in summer it gets packed, the water isn't the cleanest where the piles are, but you can see some fish and I like it because it has waves and the sunset is nice, so from Gijón, my favorite, within the city itself which can be reached on foot without problems, 9/10.

Positive experience: I had bad luck, there were so many people that I can't evaluate it as well as I should.

Positive experience: Good beach to go with children, but you have to be careful with the tide.

Fantastic experience: It's a very nice beach, the downside is that there are many robberies and they say there is so much police controlling the beach but when robberies happen you can't find anyone.

Fantastic experience: For me, it's the best beach I've ever been to, the space, comfort, and proximity to everything are the best, excellent with kids, and its atmosphere is incredible.

Positive experience: San Lorenzo Beach, Gijón, Asturias, Spain .- Beach very crowded with people in the summer. In winter, dogs have access .- Pollution problems with the port of Musel and the Piles river .- San Lorenzo Beach is probably the most famous beach in Asturias. It is the bay of Gijón, one of the most beautiful in northern Spain. San Lorenzo Beach is located right in the center of Gijón. With a length of 1550 meters and a shell shape, it is one of the most emblematic beaches of the Principality of Asturias. It stretches from staircase 0, located behind San Pedro Church, to staircase number 16, at the mouth of the Piles river. .- The most traditional and largest beach in Gijón, a classic destination for bathers in all seasons.

On promenades and urban areas, near beach accesses, the presence of pets will be allowed as long as they are leashed with a fixed length of no more than one meter and, when necessary due to the characteristics of the animal, must be equipped with a muzzle.

Negative experience: Infested with people and jellyfish. I understood nothing. Very bad experience

Fantastic experience: The best beach in Spain. Just like that.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Spain. Always clean. Almost always with waves. Huge and next to the city, with all its services.

Fantastic experience: Very lively beach with a long promenade and several bars, cider houses, and breweries. In summer, especially crowded. Very close to the Molina stadium. There are several parking lots in the surrounding area, both on the streets and underground. Recommendable beach for the walk and enjoyment in the terraces around. Great promenade if you are traveling through Asturias and Gijón.

Fantastic experience: This beach is quite large, with plenty of space until the tide rises and it runs out of sand. Ideal for swimming and surfing.

Positive experience: Beach with a very nice promenade. During peak season and at peak times, there are a lot of people, but nothing out of the ordinary. It's quite enjoyable when the weather is good.

Fantastic experience: Place incrr ......

Positive experience: Overcrowded in the summer

Fantastic experience: High-quality beach with beautiful scenery

Fantastic experience: A spectacular beach but a bit crowded during high season.

Fantastic experience: A great urban beach, especially at low tide.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, with a beautiful promenade all around. Fine sand and a very clean beach.

Fantastic experience: In a beautiful place and I love going to San Lorenzo beach. I have been going to this beach since I was 5 years old and now I am 55 years old. So I have been going to SAN LORENZO BEACH for 50 years.

Negative experience: The beach is nothing special, plus the huge 15-story buildings right behind it make everything uglier. I guess if you are from there, you have no choice but to go to that beach, but if you're from outside, go somewhere else. Avoid going on weekends; it looks like an ant colony of people. There isn't even a spot to put your towel.

Positive experience: City beach that during high tide has very little sand, but at low tide it is spectacular. White, very fine sand. It has three swimming areas and another for surfers. You must pay attention to the lifeguard's instructions because there are very dangerous areas due to the currents. There are showers along the beach, a section with private cabins that adds color to the beach, terraces, and restaurants in front. Along the seaside promenade, which is always very crowded, there are ice cream shops, clothing stalls, earrings, bracelets, bags...

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach

Fantastic experience: The wonderful natural beach of Gijon, miles long, perfect for sunbathing or taking a dip in its clean waters.

Fantastic experience: It's close to the city, beautiful, and very safe, because it has everything, in the broadest sense of the word.

Fantastic experience: beautiful. highly recommended to visit both the beach and the promenade. very high tides. beautiful.

Negative experience: San Lorenzo beach has a very serious problem between October and May: dog access. It is inconceivable and third-world. Especially when dog owners have the Rinconín beach, reserved for dogs 365 days a year, less than a kilometer away. It seems that dogs and their owners have more privileges than the rest of the citizens. All the responsibility lies with the Gijón city council, which has a very permissive stance towards dog owners. Dogs outside of San Lorenzo, not a single day at San Lorenzo !!!!

Fantastic experience: I admire it every day. It is always clean. It is cozy and you can stroll along the promenade and go quite far. It offers shows on certain dates. BEAUTIFUL

Fantastic experience: We visited it on the day of the air show, which is highly recommended to see. It is a very large beach with various parking options nearby.

Positive experience: As always..beautiful beach and crowded ..

Positive experience: The sun finally came out. A spectacular beach for walking. Family-friendly and very clean, but being in the north, you have to start leaving around 4 PM because of high tide...

Fantastic experience: An experience more

Positive experience: In the middle of the city Very long beach

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant, well organized and clean, with good services.

Fantastic experience: For me, one of the best beaches in Spain. It's better that you visit it and give your opinion. I hope it's the same as mine...

Fantastic experience: A great day with the air show, perfect for relaxing and walking around.

Fantastic experience: A beach love. Now very crowded with people, but it's just that the 'semanona' is starting.

Positive experience: Beautiful city beach, improve services such as foot showers and restrooms

Fantastic experience: I am from Gijón, what can I say, I love San Lorenzo beach. The only pity is that when the tide comes in, very little beach is left.

Fantastic experience: Perfect spot to spend hours. There are many people doing different types of activities, and out of the swimming season, a good part of the beach is opened up for walking with dogs, where a large number of them gather and can enjoy non-stop.

Fantastic experience: Perfect when the tide is low if you go with small children. Very clean

Fantastic experience: The perfect place for summer, family. Spacious areas, safety, lifeguards always attentive both out of and in the water.

Fantastic experience: Possibly one of the best urban beaches of the Cantabrian Sea...

Fantastic experience: Urban beach with wide sand and colorful kiosks. Access through comfortable stairs. Located on the promenade surrounded by all kinds of establishments and a very large park next to El Molinón.

Positive experience: San Lorenzo beach is not a bad choice. It is the main beach of Gijón, and if you live there, you always have the option to relax for a while. However, it is true that on sunny days it gets very crowded, with people playing with a ball or someone always playing music with a speaker, and therefore tranquility is hard to achieve. Another issue is the fact that there are usually many waves, which is great if you are a surfer, but on the other hand, it's not suitable for swimming for a while, in which case I recommend some swimming goggles. Other than that, there are lifeguards, it is relatively clean, there are showers, establishments nearby, and some beautiful sunsets.

Fantastic experience: I love the promenade, bars, cider houses, and people… everything is very clean, just to say something to improve, they should take care of the interior areas as well.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, hammocks, beach volleyball court, the only thing I don't like is that there is a lot of trash, yogurt containers, plastic bottles... But other than that, it's very good

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to spend a beach day

Positive experience: Main beach of Gijón..aside from a few things it is really nice..

Fantastic experience: It gets a bit small when the tide comes in, but overall excellent

Fantastic experience: Incredible place, I love this beach, you can walk along the sand for a long distance, the water is very cold, but in summer it can be tolerated.

Positive experience: Clean, a section for surfers and limited for bathers at times

Positive experience: You are only allowed to swim in areas marked off by the lifeguards.

Fantastic experience: Relaxing walk without crowds or noise

Fantastic experience: Incredible

Fantastic experience: The best beach in Gijón where you can walk, sunbathe, stroll, have something to drink on the terraces, eat in the restaurants, and you have the best view of the Cantabrian Sea, especially when there is rough seas.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular urban beach and beautiful promenade that can take you almost from one end to the other of Gijón. Fine sand and crystal-clear waters of the Cantabrian Sea..., a must-visit in the Asturian summer.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular, what can I say, like the rest of Asturias, an urban beach with quite a lot of people, activities, etc... and a beautiful long promenade to enjoy.

Fantastic experience: I love this promenade, I think it is the cleanest I have ever seen, I saw the workers with a tool, picking up butts one by one, zero cigarette butts, everything well painted, I fell in love with Xixon.

Fantastic experience: A natural beach located in an extraordinary setting. Fine, powder-like sand, completely flooded twice a year due to the tides. Its promenade is 3000 meters long, and along the beach at low tide about 1500. It is entirely within the urban area. Its main access, the large stairs, is located in the center of Gijón. It has all the services: showers, chairs, rental cabins, public address system, lifeguard, police. Thorough cleaning by the cleaning service. I've found very few at that level. Very complete.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach in summer although if the merchandise rises it stays quite limited and in the afternoon it gets shade very early due to the buildings they have allowed to be built so close years ago. In winter it is rather for dogs; if you like animals you can see thousands of dogs running with their owners. A very well-maintained beach all year round and in summer its promenade is packed. A large and very beautiful city beach.

Fantastic experience: It's a beautiful place!!! Ideal for walking along the wall and enjoying the tranquility of the atmosphere and watching the sea and the sunsets. In summer the beach gets crowded, but it's great and the water is perfect. You can surf and do other water activities. Also, from this beach, when the 'Gijón Air Festival' day arrives (in July), you can see the helicopters, small planes, military aviation very well... It's a great experience to see it up close!!! And for those who are more passionate about planes, I recommend watching the show from Cerro Santa Catalina. From there you have the exciting views of the fighters, for example, and the roar they produce, almost reaching the sound barrier, AMAZING!!! I also recommend watching the fireworks from the beach (the night of August 14) because the views are super cool and you enjoy it much more.

Fantastic experience: Very pretty and clean. Also very close to where we stayed, and it has the whole city within reach.

Fantastic experience: The largest sandy area in the city. An urban beach that looks good at first glance but has already taken many people due to a strong current going East. The current areas can be recognized by being calm and surrounded by wave zones. If you get caught, go straight out to the current, head towards the beach, and keep your cool. Watch out for the kids!

Fantastic experience: Nice beach in the heart of Gijon.

Positive experience: I prefer the Atlantic Ocean 100,000 times over the Cantabrian Sea, but what I don't like about the ocean is that it's very cold, and what I like about the ocean is the sand, it's incomparable to the sand there.

Fantastic experience: The charm of the beach is in the middle of the city. And it has a promenade that attracts every tourist.

Fantastic experience: Beach in the center of Gijón. It is a very spacious beach that is usually crowded with people. If you don't go early to find a spot, it’s better not to go because by mid-morning there is hardly room for a pin. If you are coming from outside, it’s better to park in the area of the alsas because parking nearby is really complicated.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular at any time of the day, sunny or cloudy. A luxury that the city of Gijon offers.

Fantastic experience: Wide and long beach, with several accesses along the promenade that have water fountains.

Fantastic experience: San Lorenzo Beach in Gijón is known for its beauty and has services adapted for people with reduced mobility, such as access ramps, amphibious chairs, and adapted hygiene facilities. Furthermore, there is specialized personnel to help. I recommend that you go in summer to enjoy a beautiful beach!

Negative experience: I went in February with good weather and I think it is a beach where dogs can walk and they are free!!!

Fantastic experience: The beach and 'the wall' of all Gijon locals and those who visit the Asturian cantabrian villa. A meeting place, for walking, for recreation, for leisure and contemplation. In summer and throughout the year, the beach is there for all the inhabitants as a local and personal reference. Well urbanized, well-marked access stairs, a wide promenade that borders it from end to end. The beach is Gijón just as Gijón is its beach. Outstanding.

Fantastic experience: The evening walks along its shore are quite relaxing, at the beginning is the San Pedro Church.

Fantastic experience: An authentic paradise in Gijón, with its pet area and various meeting points, sun, sand, surf, waves, company, relaxation, in short, everything.

Positive experience: Walking along the beach wall in winter.. I love it

Fantastic experience: Wonderful!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach on the Atlantic Ocean.

Positive experience: In winter, it's ideal for walking with your feet in the water or playing in the sand. There is a staircase for pets. Observing the waves, breathing in the sea air, and feeling the fresh breeze awakens the senses and makes you disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Fantastic experience: Big beach, beautiful and well adapted.

Positive experience: Very beautiful beach for walking

Fantastic experience: Spectacular, safe, comfortable, divine for walking because its sand is super fine and without stones.

Positive experience: Magnificent city beach, well maintained and with all services. The only drawback is the large beach area on the western side dedicated to dog owners.

Fantastic experience: It is a walk or hike that is undoubtedly hard to improve upon that environment.

Fantastic experience: San Lorenzo Beach is the tourist hub of the city; you can walk its promenade from end to end and it is an excellent place to stroll... a must-visit spot for tourists and for those who want to challenge (at times) the temperatures of the Cantabrian Sea... A place with its own life every day of the year, especially on weekends and particularly in spring and summer...

Positive experience: The beach par excellence in Gijón, one of the busiest spots in the city. It is clean and well maintained. Depending on how the tide is, there are areas where you won't be able to stay because the sea reaches right up to the limit. A beautiful and pleasant seaside promenade to enjoy the Cantabrian Sea.

Positive experience: What can I say about Gigia Islands beach? It's an urban beach with the advantages and disadvantages that this entails. During low tide, it's great for walking by the shore; during high tide, the beach is cut in half, but it has its charm in the summer with the iconic beach huts.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, large sandy beach, good connection, you can get there by train from Oviedo. For those more active, you can take surfing lessons. Cool thing.

Positive experience: Beautiful and spacious beach in Gijon, we didn't swim, but the walk in the afternoon was very nice.

Fantastic experience: The beach is very BEAUTIFUL IN XIXON, ASTURIAS

Positive experience: Beautiful beach with an interesting difference between low tide and high tide. Worth it.

Fantastic experience: With a great walk, you walk without realizing it, there are benches and places to rest if needed; people and animals coexist perfectly, everything is very clean.

Fantastic experience: It reminded me of Las Canteras beach in Las Palmas or the beaches of La Victoria in Cadiz. Beaches integrated into the city with an impressive promenade. You can take the route from the marina passing through the old town and, of course, the main square. We started the other way around. We returned along the beach. It can be a leisurely walk of about 40 minutes.

Fantastic experience: Clean beautiful beach, perfect for beginner surfer and body boarding!

Positive experience: Busy, but relaxing! Showers, foot wash, lovely beach.

Fantastic experience: The beach is well-maintained and offers facilities such as showers and lifeguards. It's also a favorite spot for surfers due to its consistent waves. Overall, Playa de Lorenzo is a must-visit destination for those looking to enjoy the beauty of the Asturian coast.

Fantastic experience: Nice big sandy beach. There weren't any chairs on the beach so you have to go with your own stuff, but the water is so clear and you have so much space around.
