Entrepeñes y Playa de Vega, Natural monument and beach in Ribadesella, Spain

The Entrepeñes gorges and Vega Beach cover 37 hectares, featuring limestone cliffs, a sandy shoreline, and the Acebo stream flowing through the landscape.

The area received its Natural Monument designation in December 2001 through Decree 142/2001, recognizing its geological and biological importance within Asturias.

The beach and surrounding cliffs contain numerous paleontological sites with dinosaur footprints, documenting the prehistoric inhabitants of the Asturian coast.

Beach access includes wooden walkways, accessible toilets, and designated parking spaces, with lifeguard services operating from June through mid-September.

The site contains a rare marsh alder grove and hosts the golden gnatcatcher, a plant species found exclusively at this location on the Asturian coast.
