Beach overall scores
Playa San Martin (Asturias) region (Celorio sub-region) is located outside the Celoriu 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa San Martin with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"During low tide, this beach is absolutely stunning. You have the option to swim directly in the ocean or in the small pools nestled between the rocks. Surf enthusiasts will definitely appreciate the great waves here."

The sand is incredibly fine and the water is a beautiful shade of blue, with white waves crashing against the shore. There are plenty of rocks both in and around the water, which adds to the overall scenery. Plus, there's a lifeguard on duty for added safety. However, I wouldn't bothe..."
