Playa de la Concha
8 Sofia

This beach is a must-see! Its beauty is undeniable, so don't miss out on the opportunity to experience it for yourself!

Playa de los Locos
6 Cristobal Arroyo

I have been visiting this beach since I was 5 years old and even before that when I was an infant. I can never forget the waves and the stunning views, but it is still not enough to make me want to come back here.

Playa de Usgo
8 Kirill Zolotarev

Awesome! With two parking lots and clean water, it's the perfect spot for beginner surfers and kids alike. The waves are just the right size, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Playa de Cuchia
10 Jin Mei Chen

We watched the sun go down here, surrounded by a much more natural environment than the urban Playa de Concha on the other side of the river. Despite its natural setting, the beach still offers showers, free parking, and a toilet at the bar next to it.

Playa de Luana
8 Iris Serrallonga

The beach may be small, but it's certainly beautiful. During the summer months, it's best to arrive early if you plan to park in the free public lot next door, as it can fill up quickly. If you don't mind paying, there are authorized parking lots further away that charge 3 euros. And if you go at low tide, you can explore the cliff and discover some interesting formations on the rocks.

Liencres Beach

If you're a fan of surfing, stunning beaches and relatively clean water, then this is the spot for you! The parking area can get a bit crowded with surfers, and early mornings can be busy with dog walkers and their barking, but there's plenty of parking and a restaurant (that was closed when I visited). There are no toilets, but the showers are working. Please help keep the area tidy for everyone and use the recycling and litter bins.
