Isla La Deva y el Playón de Bayas, Protected coastal island and beach system in Asturias, Spain
The area encompasses a 3-kilometer sandy beach, extensive dune formations, and the largest coastal islet of Asturias, situated 350 meters from the mainland.
The Isla de la Deva and Playón de Bayas received official natural monument status in 2002 through a decree by the Government of Asturias.
The site represents a significant ecological reserve where researchers study marine birds and conduct environmental monitoring of protected plant species.
Visitors can access the area via a 10-kilometer coastal path from Arnao Beach to the eastern end of Playón de Bayas.
The island hosts the only substantial yellow-legged gull colony on the Asturian coast and contains a distinct subspecies of common wall lizard.
