San Lorenzo Beach, Urban beach in Gijón, Spain
The golden sand beach stretches for 1500 meters along the northern coast of Gijón, bordered by a three-kilometer promenade called El Muro.
The beach development started in the late 19th century when local authorities constructed the protective sea wall and established the first bathing facilities.
The beach serves as a central meeting point during local celebrations, including the summer festivities of Semana Grande and numerous sports competitions.
The beach provides complete facilities including showers, restrooms, lifeguard services, volleyball courts, and designated areas for water sports activities.
During low tide, the beach reveals ancient limestone formations that create natural pools, perfect for exploring marine life.
