Playa de San Antolín

Playa de San Antolín is a coastal beach in Asturias that combines sandy and pebbly areas along its shoreline. The waters here are notably rough, especially near the mouth of the Bedón River where waves are most powerful.

The area has medieval roots connected to the nearby San Antolín de Bedón monastery, built in earlier centuries. This religious structure reflects the long human presence and importance of this coastal region throughout history.

The beach draws surfers from surrounding areas who come for the strong waves and challenging conditions. Locals and visitors gather here to watch or participate in the sport throughout the year.

The beach is easy to reach by road, with parking available near the entrance area. Visit during drier weather when water conditions are safer and more manageable for swimming and water activities.

A notable feature is the viaduct that spans across the coastal area above the beach, creating a striking contrast between natural landscape and engineering. Some visitors seek out this location for its dramatic setting combining land, sea, and structure.
