El Rinconín Beach
Information
The Playa de El Rinconín is a small but charming beach located at the eastern end of San Lorenzo beach in Gijón. It is a popular spot for dog owners, as dogs are welcome all year round, making it a unique asset for pet lovers.
- Highlights: Beautiful scenery, clean environment, and a large adjacent green park.
- Pros: Great for dogs to run and play; not overly crowded, especially with pets.
- Cons: The beach is mostly rocky with very little sand, making it uncomfortable for both dogs and humans to walk on. During low tide, many rocks are exposed, complicating access to the water.
- Amenities: Nearby park with ample grassy areas, restrooms available, and free parking close by.
Overall, it's a fantastic place for dog owners to relax and enjoy a day at the beach, provided they come prepared for the rocky terrain.

Fantastic experience: Clean, small lagoons where small dogs can enjoy without stress. Not overcrowded. Next to a huge park... a must-stop for dog parents.

Negative experience: Dogs have to play by stepping on stones and the tide can't come up because you'll be left without a beach. It's a shame that in the city with the most dogs in all of Spain, they don't prepare a proper sandy beach for dogs, making it increasingly difficult for us to find a place to enjoy with them.
Positive experience: Small cove of stone and sand designated for dogs all year round, does not get affected much by the waves and has a large park next to it.
Fantastic experience: Clean, small lagoons where small dogs can enjoy without stress. Not overcrowded. Next to a huge park... a must-stop for dog parents.
Negative experience: It's nice to have a beach to take pets, but my goodness, does it have to be the worst and farthest one??? I couldn't even stay for 10 minutes because the sand or rather the stones were very uncomfortable. I'm not expecting the best beach for furry ones, but at least one that we can share, that is good enough for them and for us.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, one of the best beaches in Asturias to go with a dog. Dog admission: Dogs are accepted all year round; I recommend arriving early in summer.

Fantastic experience: Un día precioso, un paseo de ensueño con gente haciendo lo mismo que yo. La playa de los perritos, maravillosos espacios verdes con familias tumbadas al sol o charlando. Mojitos en un chiringuito de playa. Gijon al fondo. ¿Es posible?, si, en Gijon. Admisión de perros: Los perritos pueden entrar en la playa. Los vimos jugar felices con sus dueños. Mis dos perritas ya se fueron, así que aquello me emocionó.
Fantastic experience: Escalera 24 en la playa de Gijón (San Lorenzo),se puede bajar con perros todo el año,buen sitio para nadar con tus peludos,aunque deberías llevar escarpines,fanequeras,o algún tipo de calzado,porque está llena de piedrecitas. Zona verde enorme justo encima,parques infantiles,bares y restaurantes ,preciosas vistas y muy cerca del centro de la ciudad

Fantastic experience: Estupenda playa canina donde tu , disfrutará de lo lindo. Muy limpia, con socorrista y en las inmediaciones una zona verde donde puedes dejar suelto a tu perrete. Envidia sana tener esto en otras playas de España. Bravo por Gijón. Parque infantil: Cerca tiene un parque infantil y mucha extensión de césped donde la gebte se pone a tomar el sol y a jugar con sus perros. Admisión de perros: Playa que asmite perros. Tiene rocas pero para darse un chapuzón y que ellos se remojen y socialicen es estupenda.
Positive experience: La playa no es gran cosa pero para perros perfecta, pues está cerrada por todos lados. Había muy buen rollo entre todos y limpia de cacas. Con socorrista vigilando fuera (arriba en la valla), aunque si pasa algo no tiene buen acceso para bajar, que le pongan un puesto en condiciones!
Fantastic experience: Aunque es una playa de piedras, me encanta ir con mi perra, se lo pasa genial. Al ser la única playa de Gijón permitida para los perros pues siempre encuentra algun/a amig@, así que solemos ir bastante. Tiene servicio de socorrista y ducha.
Fantastic experience: Fantástica playa para perros, una gozada poder ver a nuestros peludos disfrutar del agua y conocer a otros amigos . La playa en si no es muy grande pero suficiente. Además tiene socorrista y un parque enorme cerca para jugar o pasear con los perros.
Positive experience: Permite el acceso con perros, esta bastante limpia, eso si es de piedra. Te recomiendo que al quieres bañarte vayas con marea alta, sino el baño se hace muy dificil. Eso si por favor al ayuntamiento que le pongan un sitio decente donde trabajar al pobre socorrista que desde la escalera no es lugar.

Fantastic experience: You have to take the tides into account; if there has been a full moon, the water goes down a lot and you end up without a beach, but it's very beautiful as it leaves many areas with water and you can see everything. Dog admission: Dogs are accepted and it's crowded.
Fantastic experience: Clean, small lagoons where small dogs can enjoy without stress. Not overcrowded. Next to a huge park... a must-stop for dog parents.
Negative experience: Remote, far, uncomfortable, beach of very poor quality. They give you an empty lot and you applaud as if it were a park. Dog admission: Dog beach, but very poor quality, far...
Positive experience: Nice small beach where dogs can play and swim freely. There is a large green space above that is great as well. The entry to the water is shallow but be careful, there are many big rocks, especially during high tide.
Positive experience: Excelente playa para perro muy limpia con gravilla fina lo único el acceso al agua es un poco regular debido a las rocas Admisión de perros: Es playa para perro casi no hay gente sin mascota si te moleta que un perro pise tu toalla no vayas no es para ti !

Fantastic experience: Para mi tiene un encanto especial. Muy segura y bonita. Ahora es para perros todo el año, y eso la hace más alegre. Cerquita tiene prados, para quien no quiera arena. Algo de hostelería cerca. Parking gratuito cerca. Salvamento en verano. Fuente de agua en el paseo. Preciosa para hacer snorkel. Admisión de perros: Específica para perros, pueden entrar todo el año. Arriba, en el paseo, muchísima zona verde para pasear también con tu perro. Fuentes de agua en el paseo.

Positive experience: Stony beach, ideal for beginners in diving, which could be better utilized. They have turned it into a dog beach, so most people don't even consider it, and those of us who were regulars no go anymore, especially with kids.
Fantastic experience: Entorno tranquilo y limpio al que puedes acceder con tu perro. Diversión garantizada!
Positive experience: Es una playa pequeñita que está en la escalera 24 de la playa de San Lorenzo igual que otras cuantas que hay en el mismo litoral en la misma zona con muy poco oleaje no tiene apenas arena tiene graba más bien rocas es tranquila y lo mejor de este sitio es que está autorizado para poder meter los animales en el agua se lo pasan muy bien y es una gozada verlos divertirse
