Playa de Lastres, Golden sand beach in Lastres, Spain
Playa de Lastres is a beach in Lastres on the coast of Asturias stretching about 300 meters. The shoreline consists of a mixture of sand and pebbles framed by tall cliffs that rise above the Cantabrian Sea.
The alternative name L'Estilleru comes from shipbuilding activities that took place on this shore over several centuries. This maritime craft tradition shaped the location and left traces visible in the landscape today.
The beach and its surroundings became known as a filming location for the Spanish television series Doctor Mateo. This connection has given the place a distinctive role in local identity.
The beach is accessible with ramps and offers lifeguard services from July through September. Visitors with limited mobility can use amphibious chairs to gain access to the water.
During high tide the ocean completely covers the beach, creating a natural cycle that transforms the shoreline twice daily. This phenomenon makes each visit a different experience depending on when you arrive.
