Porcía Beach
Information
The Playa de Porcía is a hidden gem located in the western Asturias, known for its stunning natural beauty and diverse environments. This beach, characterized by its fine golden sand and crystal-clear waters, offers a unique experience, especially at low tide when the extensive sand area becomes accessible.
Highlights:
- Beautiful surroundings with lush vegetation and cliffs.
- Perfect for swimming and snorkeling, particularly in calm waters.
- Facilities including public restrooms, parking, and a bar/restaurant with great views.
- Tranquil and ideal for families, often less crowded even during peak season.
However, it's important to note that:
- During high tide, much of the sand area disappears, leaving a more limited space to relax.
- Visitors have expressed mixed feelings about the chiringuito service, with some citing poor food quality.
- Access is somewhat restricted for those with mobility issues due to the stairs leading to the beach.
Overall, Playa de Porcía is a picturesque spot well worth visiting, especially for those who appreciate nature and wish to enjoy a day by the sea.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic view. Parking, tables, restrooms, and a beach bar. Everything is top-notch.
Fantastic experience: Otra playa majestuosa de Asturias. Bien para aparcar, muy bien cuidado el entorno, txirungito espectacular. Vamos un 11
Positive experience: It's a small beach with high tide, accessed by stairs, but the view is really cool.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in western Asturias, it's a shame that years ago the sea washed away all the sand, and when the tide rises, there's no sand to sit on, so you have to sit in the field below the beach bar. There's a pine area with several tables for picnicking. There are public restrooms in the free public parking, right next to the table area and the pine grove. At low tide, I recommend using water shoes as sea scorpion stings are very common.

Positive experience: Preciosa. Hya ruta. No admiten perros
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach for walking, dogs are not allowed but as there was no one around at the time we were able to take a stroll with them. If we are respectful, we can all enjoy...
Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach with two parking areas. Before going down to the beach, there is a very, very large field with a bar. However, there are benches and picnic tables where you can bring your own food and enjoy some SPECTACULAR views (I recommend calling Parrilla Sushi, 1.6km away, which prepares takeout food). You can get drinks at the bar, from beer to bottles of cider. A charming place. You can bring dogs and it is 100% enjoyable for them.
Negative experience: No admite perros Ni dejan fumar
Fantastic experience: Un buen relax,paisaje precioso y un chiringuito para comer buen pescado con trato agradable y buena calidad precio Y además admite mascotas

Positive experience: Beautiful landscape: along the rocks, the sand (at low tide), the grass that borders it. The beach bar in a privileged place, good menu, fresh fish of the day, mussels, fresh calamari, homemade croquettes that are very tasty.
Fantastic experience: ¡La Playa de Porcía es un verdadero paraíso! Con sus aguas cristalinas y arena fina, es perfecta para relajarse y disfrutar de un día de sol. Además, el entorno natural es espectacular, rodeado de vegetación y acantilados que te dejan sin aliento. Hay un chiringuito cerca donde puedes pedir algo para tomar o incluso comer, lo cual es súper conveniente para no tener que irse muy lejos y seguir disfrutando de la playa. Es un lugar tranquilo, ideal para desconectar del estrés y simplemente disfrutar de la belleza del mar. ¡Sin duda, una joya escondida que vale la pena visitar una y otra vez! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: We really liked the place: green, pine trees, and sand on a beautiful beach. They also have wooden tables and benches for eating. When we went, there was high tide, but if we return to the area, we will go there to swim. We had dinner at the beach bar there, where you can also have some beers. Now in September 2022, I just saw the series 'Alma' on Netflix, and this beach appears as one of the settings; I think it is from where they go to 'La isla de Deva.'

Positive experience: Entorno de 10. Aguas tranquilas. Picos zona con arena. Dispone de duchas y zona de césped.Sin acceso para personas con problemas de movilidad. Socorrista. Merendero muy bonito con vistas a la playa a escasos metros. Zona de parking
Fantastic experience: Muy bien, playa ideal para ir con familia. En el lado este hay socorristas y no dejan perros, pero si vas al lado más oeste que en Google Maps aparece como playa pádel se permite todo y no hay socorristas. Eso si tiene mucha roca en el fondo. Recomendable llevar zapatillas de río.
Fantastic experience: Magnífica playa!! Con empresa de turismo activo ideal para pasar un día de 10!! Espectacular en marea baja, pero preciosa en pleamar! Tiene socorristas y chiringuito. Lo malo es que suele haber bastante gente, y aparcar cerca suele ser complicado

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, very well kept surroundings, it is worth seeing if you are in the area, cold water and views.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach. A mix of mountains and a little beach. The shower at the beginning is heavenly, plenty of water and close to the grass, give a Nobel to the one who put it there. You have to go with low tide because otherwise you will be left without beach.
Fantastic experience: Para mi es la mejor playa de toda esta costa, solo hay que tener en cuenta las mareas porque al subir el agua la playa desaparece

Fantastic experience: I don't have photos of this beach, but what a marvel it was to go down to a cove to swim, with very few people and enjoy the 'cool water'. I recommend wearing water shoes because there were seaweeds at the entrance in case you're hesitant to step on them, like I was. Once you get past the seaweeds... Enjoy. There were people doing paddle surfing.
Fantastic experience: Guapa playa. Alquilan canoas y páddel surf
Fantastic experience: En pleamar es una piscina, una playa resguardada con islitas. Perfecta para nadar, ir con paddle surf o para hacer snorkel. Cuando sube la marea se queda sin arena y hay que dejar las cosas en un prao. Recomendable la visita.
Fantastic experience: En marea baja es preciosa, de tranquilas aguas turquesa. En marea alta queda poquita playa, pero sigue siendo ideal para kayak o padelsurf que puedes llevar o alquilar allí. El único problema es que suele haber bastanre gente. El chiringuito tiene unas vistas 10. Muy recomendable
Fantastic experience: Espectacular, chiringuito se come de maravilla y se disfruta en todo momento del entorno . Pasear y disfrutar. Bañarse o surfear ♀️

Fantastic experience: It's my little beach. I close my eyes and I can draw it on a piece of paper.
Fantastic experience: Paradise, beautiful beach and a beach bar with reasonable prices
Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite beaches in western Asturias. A beach with a not very large parking for its size, but it has it, also with restrooms and showers. The downside is that if the tide is high, there is no sand and it looks like a giant pool. On the other hand, there is a great beach bar where you can have something to drink, where you'll find the famous swing of this beach and a very beautiful path that will take you to Cabo Blanco.

Fantastic experience: Spectacularly beautiful, wild and surrounded by paradise, where the beach bar is nothing more than the icing on the cake before leaving these sweeter brave waters....
