Playa de la Paloma, Protected beach in Tapia de Casariego, Spain

Playa de la Paloma is a triangular beach in Tapia de Casariego, 200 metres long and about 50 metres wide, made of fine golden sand packed firm enough to walk on easily. The Esteiro river crosses the sand, and at low tide the neighbouring coves join the main beach; at very low tides it links up with Playa de la Reburdia west of Punta Anguileira.

Playa de la Paloma lies in the Asturian council of Tapia de Casariego, on the Costa Occidental, and is catalogued as a ZEPA and LIC environmental protection site. The Esteiro river crosses the sand, and at very low tides the beach joins the Playa de la Reburdia west of punta Anguileira. Its 200-metre triangular strand of fine golden sand is the second most important beach of the council.

The beach is also called Esteiro, after the river of the same name that crosses the sand and must be waded or bypassed over a small bridge on the sand dunes. At low tide the coves around it join the main beach, and at very low tides it links with Playa de la Reburdia west of Punta Anguileira.

The beach has lifeguard coverage on weekends from July through mid-September during peak season. Visitors should be aware that the steep cliffs surrounding the area require careful access and attention to safety conditions.

The beach integrates into a protected environmental zone, combining white sand shores with steep coastal cliffs that create distinct swimming conditions.
