Playa de la Griega

Playa de la Griega, Natural beach in Colunga, Spain

Playa de la Griega is a broad beach shaped like a delta where the Libardón River meets the sea, bordered by tall cliffs that rise from the sand. The expanse of golden sand creates a natural bay open to the ocean.

The beach holds ancient fossilized footprints left by sauropod dinosaurs embedded in its rock formations. These impressions reveal a time when such creatures roamed this region millions of years ago.

The beach holds deep roots in local fishing traditions that shape daily life and the regional food culture. Visitors experience these maritime customs directly through the people and practices they encounter here.

The beach provides showers, restrooms, and parking for visitors spending the day there. Lifeguards are stationed during the summer season to watch over swimmers.

Natural pools form along the shoreline during low tide, creating sheltered areas for swimming and observing marine life. These pools allow visitors to experience the ocean in a calmer setting.
