Isla La Deva y el Playón de Bayas

Isla La Deva y el Playón de Bayas is a coastal area in Asturias with a wide sandy beach, extensive dune formations, and a small island positioned near the shore. The entire setting displays the typical features of an undisturbed coastal ecosystem.

The area received official protection status as a natural monument in 2002 through a regional government decree. This recognition reflects the need to safeguard this delicate coastal system.

The site serves as a nesting ground for seabirds and a stopover point for migratory birds traveling along the coast. Visitors can observe birdlife as part of the area's daily natural rhythm.

The best way to explore is by following the coastal path that extends for several kilometers and offers various viewpoints. The best time to visit is during calm weather when access to all areas is easiest.

The island hosts the only significant gull colony on this part of the coast and a rare subspecies of wall lizard. This combination makes it an exceptional place for observing wildlife.
