Puertu Chicu Beach, Urban beach in Llanes, Spain

Puertu Chicu Beach is an urban beach in the town centre of Llanes, Asturias, with fine white sand and rocky outcrops. Stairs and a ramp lead down to the sand, and the beach disappears when the tide comes in. It can be seen from the Llanes lighthouse and lies on the walk to Toró Beach.

This beach developed in the early 20th century as Llanes expanded its harbor and maritime infrastructure. The coastal area transformed from a working fishing zone into a destination for swimming and leisure.

The beach lies within the Paisaje Protegido de la Costa Oriental de Asturias, a protected landscape designated for its vegetation. Bathers reach the sand by stairs and a ramp from the town centre, and the beach can be seen from the Faro de Llanes. It sits on the walking route that continues to the Playa de Toró.

Showers and waste bins are available throughout the beach, with regular cleaning staff maintaining the area. Access is straightforward from the San Antón waterfront promenade, which runs behind the sand.

The beach vanishes as the tide rises, and it can be seen from the Llanes lighthouse; it lies on the walking route that continues to Toró beach.
