Playa de El Puntal, Protected coastal area in Villaviciosa, Spain.

El Puntal Beach spans 150 meters in length and 30 meters in width, featuring a mixture of golden sand and rocky sections along the shoreline.

The Villaviciosa estuary, where El Puntal Beach is located, has served as a natural harbor for fishing vessels throughout the northern Spanish coast's maritime history.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at El Puntal Beach, regularly casting their lines from the rocky sections into the productive waters.

The beach provides essential facilities including showers, waste bins, and cleaning services, with a marina situated just 100 meters from the shore.
