Playa de Barayo, Protected beach and nature reserve in Valdés, Spain
The Barayo beach extends for 670 meters along the western coast of Asturias, featuring sand dunes and marshlands bordered by steep cliffs.
The area previously contained an inhabited settlement called Barayo, which now stands abandoned near the protected coastal zone.
The beach maintains designation as a Special Protection Area, reflecting local commitment to preserve natural environments along the Asturian coastline.
Visitors can access the beach through marked walking paths from Vigo or Sabugo, with designated parking areas available at both entry points.
The river Barayo forms multiple meanders before reaching the beach, creating an estuary where otters frequently appear on the sand.
