Playas de Entremares y de Buelna, Coastal beaches in Llanes, Spain
Playas de Entremares y de Buelna are two small coves nestled between rocky cliffs with fine sandy floors that change shape with the tides. The shoreline features distinctive limestone rock formations that rise from the water and create a dramatic coastal profile.
These coves were carved by natural erosion processes as the sea cut into limestone bedrock over extended periods. The resulting rock formations adapted to tidal cycles, and their shape remains constantly shaped by wave action.
The beaches host occasional local gatherings and seasonal events that reflect the community's connection to the coast. People here use these spaces not just for swimming but for exploring tide pools and walking along the rock formations that define the shoreline.
Both beaches are accessible via marked paths from the village of Llanes and are best explored at low tide when more sandy area is revealed. Visitors should monitor tidal schedules since the walkable area varies significantly depending on water levels.
At low tide the two beaches merge into one continuous shoreline where the dramatic limestone pinnacle called El Picón becomes fully accessible. This distinctive rock formation serves as a natural landmark that many visitors miss if they arrive at the wrong tidal time.
