Best Beaches in Asturias
Your guide to Asturias' finest beaches — wild undeveloped Atlantic coves surrounded by green cliffs, cattle meadows, and the purest coastal solitude in Spain.
Exploring Asturias' Coastline
Asturias is northern Spain's best-kept secret. The Principality of Asturias has 400km of Atlantic coastline — more diverse and wild than almost any other Spanish region. Here, the sea meets cliffs of green stone, meadows grazed right to the clifftop edge, and coves accessible only by foot. Mass tourism has largely bypassed Asturias — the summer rain and cooler Atlantic water temperatures have kept the package holiday industry at bay — leaving a coast that feels genuinely unspoilt. The rewards for those who come are enormous: clear water, empty beaches, extraordinary seafood, and some of the most dramatic coastal landscapes in Europe. Playa del Silencio near Cudillero is the perfect emblem of this: a beach so isolated and quiet that it literally earns the name "the beach of silence."
