Playa de Andrín, Sandy beach in Llanes, Spain
Description
Playa de Andrín is a crescent-shaped cove with white sand and pebbles, framed by high cliffs that rise sharply from the shore. The water opens onto views of the small Castro Point islet nearby.
History
The beach became part of Asturias' protected coastal network in the 20th century while keeping its natural character intact. The shoreline has shaped fishing communities here for centuries.
Culture
The village of Andrín has deep roots in fishing heritage that shapes daily coastal life to this day. Local fishermen continue practices passed down through generations, defining the character of this shore.
Practical
Parking areas are available right at the beach, and lifeguards watch the water from June through September. Emergency services and a Red Cross station are on-site for safety.
Did you know?
During rough sea conditions, water shoots through a natural blowhole near Ballota point, creating a dramatic water fountain. This natural phenomenon is visible from the cove and occurs only under specific weather conditions.
