Beach overall scores
Playa de la Acacia (Asturias) is located outside the La Franca settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Playa de la Acacia, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

"This beach was truly remarkable. We had it all to ourselves one day when the nearby La Franca beach was packed. I'm not sure if there's a road leading to it, but we got there by kayak."
