Playa de Toró, Coastal beach in Llanes, Spain
Playa de Toró is a beach on the Asturian coast with golden sand and distinctive limestone rocks that rise from the water. The beach stretches about 220 meters along the shoreline and is characterized by natural rock formations that appear both on the sand and in the sea.
Playa de Toró lies in the concejo of Llanes, within the Paisaje Protegido de la Costa Oriental de Asturias, a protected landscape designated for its vegetation. Since 1996 it has received the Blue Flag in various years, most recently in 2014, and it also holds the Q for quality certification. Its shell shape and karstic rock pinnacles are the features behind that recognition.
Locals also call it Entremís. The beach lies within the Paisaje Protegido de la Costa Oriental de Asturias, protected for its vegetation, and its shell shape with white sand and karstic rock pinnacles draws many bathers from nearby Llanes. It has held the Q for quality certification and, depending on the year, the Blue Flag since 1996, most recently in 2014.
Playa de Toró lies just outside Llanes' town centre, so it fills up quickly in summer. A seafront promenade runs to a viewpoint and on toward the low cliffs by Playa de Portiello. The beach has its own car park, toilets, showers, foot-wash taps, litter bins, a telephone and food and drink outlets. Access to the water for disabled visitors is provided by an amphibious chair (anfibugui) and adapted toilets and showers.
The beach is also known as Entremís, a name that appears alongside Playa de Toró in Asturian sources. Its rock pinnacles are karst formations, shaped by the dissolution of limestone rather than by wave erosion alone. The beach has held the Q for quality certification and has flown the Blue Flag in various years since 1996, most recently in 2014.
