Playa de El Sablón

Playa de El Sablón is a small urban beach with fine light sand shaped as a semicircular cove near the town center of Llanes. The water sits protected by rock formations, making it a sheltered and manageable swimming area.

The name comes from the Asturian word 'sable', referring to the fine sand characteristic of this coastline. The sheltered cove made it a natural gathering point for the area's early communities.

The beach brings together locals and visitors in a relaxed seaside setting where people swim, walk, and spend time together. Its central location near the town makes it a meeting point where you can see how people enjoy their days by the water.

The beach has ramps and adapted restrooms for visitors with reduced mobility, and offers amphibious chair service with advance notice. The safest swimming time is during the warmer months when lifeguards are regularly on duty.

The beach marks the beginning of the Senda de Pedraya coastal path, which opens into a network of walking routes spreading across northern Spain. This makes it a natural starting point for journeys along the shore and into the surrounding landscape.
