Playa de Poniente, Gijón, Urban beach in Gijón, Spain.

The Playa de Poniente extends along the marina with golden sand and minimal waves, providing a safe environment for swimming and water activities.

Created in the 1990s, this artificial beach transformed the former industrial shipyard area into a recreational space that changed the waterfront of Gijón.

The beach functions as a center for sports competitions, including regular beach volleyball tournaments and sailing events throughout the summer season.

The beach offers multiple facilities including adapted services, audioguides for visually impaired visitors, and dedicated equipment for people with mobility requirements.

A permanent children's playground built directly on the sand provides entertainment options while maintaining the natural beach environment.
