Positive experience: A small beach but in a spectacular setting. There are bars nearby. Paid parking right by the beach.
Fantastic experience: A beach that has it all. Vertical cliffs, grass and sand, postcard sunsets, 2 cool restaurant terraces, a campsite, a large public parking lot, a kiosk, and a very surfable wave.
Fantastic experience: Great, beautiful waves, but be careful, there are lots of stones to get there. A small river and a bar next to it, as well as a parking lot.
Positive experience: Very natural beach, it is big, with a typical whitish sand of Villaviciosa, its cider apples.. Haha, right after going down the path that goes to the right there is a free parking or to the left towards the beach a meadow with paid parking
Positive experience: A beach similar to a cove located between mountains in a municipality of Villaviciosa, quite beautiful for my taste, with a part of sand and another of stones. It has a small parking lot, both paid and free. In addition, there is usually a yellow flag since it is not usually a calm sea area.

Negative experience: No admite perros
Negative experience: De playa para perros nada de nada!! Sólo pueden estar en el aparcamiento. La playa muy bonita para hacer surf porque hay muchas olas. El parking 3€ y si vas con perro no hay nada que hacer aquí.
Fantastic experience: The only place around to enjoy a nice beach with our dogs, grate environment and nice people. Government should to open more place for pets.
Positive experience: Playa bastante concurrida los fines de semana pero muy buena playa. Con marea baja hay bastante sitio para poder estar. No aceptan perros. El servicio de socorristas es hasta las 19:30. Justo al llegar hay dos parking que te cobran unos 6€ pero si sigues un poco más adelante (pasado el camping) podéis encontrar uno público y gratis. La playa cruza el río España y es de arena fina.
Fantastic experience: All the happy dogs hang out here!

Positive experience: Large parking area for cars and vans/Campers, if you arrive early, for €3. Beach with a river, stony, essential water shoes or sandals to cross to the sandy area. It has a beach bar and a couple of bars. Good sandy area and waves, with clear water. There are lifeguards. It is advisable to go during low tide. Chemical toilet with little maintenance. We already know what happens with pigs.
Positive experience: Clean and not crowded. Several beach bars and one special one right by the beach. The access to the sea is made uncomfortable by a large row of stones that make it quite difficult for bathers to enter and exit at low tide. Easy access and parking is convenient.
Fantastic experience: It's great. The river with cold water to relax your legs, the small beach but with good services and good waves. Surf competitions. They have 2 restaurants very close. Spacious parking for 3 euros.

La playa cruza el río España y es de arena fina.
Positive experience: Playa de arena gruesa y cantos rodados. Depende de si la ves con marea alta (algas y poca zona de arena) o baja (mucha zona de tierra y agua clara) no tiene nada que ver claro. Los socorristas muy atentos y agradables con la gente a pesar de que alguna gente no hace mucho caso de las indicaciones. Aparcamiento por 3€ justo al lado, aunque más adelante pasado el camping hay un aparcamiento gratuito aunque tienes que andar un poquito más.
Positive experience: No tiene gran zona de aparcamiento pero hay una campa en la que aparcar todo el día sale por 3€ Cuando estuve tenía gran oleaje por la mañana con lo cual era una playa más propia de surfistas Pero como tiene la desembocadura de un río, con piedras por medio, que lo hacen muy adecuado para ir con los niños y que se entretengan en la corriente de la ría sin riesgo de meterse al mar No es una playa de arena muy amplia, pero tiene zona de hierba también y rocas en los laterales Tiene socorristas y un chiringuito cerca
Positive experience: La Playa España (Villaviciosa, Asturies) es una playa en forma de concha de 175 m. x 440 m. de superficie, de arena fina dorada, cantos rodados y grava, formada en la desembocadura d'El Ríu España. Aguas cristalinas. Acantilados verticales, praos y viesca d'ocalitos. Fuerte oleaje que la hace perfecta para el surf, pero también para la pesca. Con todos los servicios: hostelería, duchas, socorristas, parking y camping. Etimológicamente 'españa' del asturianu 'españar', es decir explotar, refiere el ruido al romper las fuertes olas contra las rocas, así que nada que ver con España 'Hispania'. Muy popular por sus características y su proximidad a Xixón/Gijón.

Fantastic experience: It's been my favorite beach since I was young, when hardly anyone went. I love enjoying it when there are almost no people, it has a unique sound.
Fantastic experience: A magical cove. Dreamy sunsets. Groups chatting, people meditating. A special beach surrounded by forest. If you like pebbles and big stones, this is your place. It's advisable to wear non-slip shoes or flip-flops, as there's a lot of mold stuck to the rocks when the tide is low. As a finishing touch, there is an open-air venue with jungle decoration, good music, many benches, and great cocktails. Excellent service. A wonderful place to spend a lovely evening.
Positive experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach

Fantastic experience: Interesting cove with a nice terrace
Fantastic experience: Super nice, to be honest, it was very empty the day I went but super relaxing to go and take a bath.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach. But it's not an ashtray. Cigarette butts contain plastic and toxins that enter the ocean and our food chain eventually. Bin them, get a pocket ashtray. @TheTrashTraveler raising awareness with fun and creativity.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach
Positive experience: A bit neglected
Fantastic experience: Incredible, like when I was a child
