Salinas Beach, Sandy beach in Castrillón, Spain.
Salinas Beach is a 2100 meter coastal strip of golden sand with waves that work well for surfing and swimming. The bay is framed by pine forests and includes showers, restrooms, parking areas, and small food shops spread along the shore.
The beach formed as part of the natural coastline, while the nearby town of Salinas expanded in the 1900s as a summer destination for local families. This growth turned the area into a popular spot for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts.
The beach reflects the local fishing heritage and maritime traditions that shaped the community over generations. Today, visitors and residents use the shore for swimming and relaxation, with the sea influencing the rhythm of daily life in the village.
The beach is easy to reach on foot and has plenty of parking near the main entrance. It is best to arrive early, especially on weekends and summer months, when crowds build up throughout the day.
The beach hosts the annual VANS Salinas Longboard Festival each year, drawing surfers from across the region. The event brings competitions and live demonstrations that transform the bay into a gathering place for the water sports community.
