Playa de San Juan de Nieva, Protected beach in Salinas, Spain
San Juan de Nieva beach extends for 500 meters along the Asturian coast, featuring golden sand and strong waves from northeastern winds.
The location once contained the largest dune system in Asturias, supporting diverse vegetation adapted to mobile, dry, and salty soil conditions.
The coastal path leads to the Anchor Museum, which honors Philippe Cousteau through a dedicated exhibition and seaside observation point.
The beach provides parking for over 100 vehicles, restrooms, showers, and lifeguard services during summer months from May through September.
The protected dune ecosystem displays distinct formations of primary and secondary dunes, with specific plant species like barron and coastal willows.
