Playa de Foxos o Barra, Protected coastal beach in Coaña, Spain.

Playa de Foxos o Barra is a straight beach about 150 metres long and 10 metres wide, in the council of Cuaña, Asturias, near the village of Mohías. It lies on the left bank of the Navia river mouth, beside Playa de Arnielles. Its bed alternates coarse dark sand with a small breakwater.

This coastal area was designated for protection because of its importance to marine life and seabirds. The protected status came as part of the broader system for safeguarding valuable coastal zones in northern Spain.

The beach is also called "Barra", after the sandbar at the mouth of the Navia. It lies in the same ría, so bathers are advised not to swim far from shore because currents push toward one side or the other. Recreational fishing is the activity recommended here.

Playa de Foxos o Barra lies on the left bank of the Navia river mouth, next to Playa de Arnielles, and is reached on foot by a path of about 500 metres. The beach has cleaning and lifeguard services, a picnic area and a recreation area. Bathers are advised not to move far from the shore because of currents running to either side of the estuary.

The beach lies on the left bank of the Navia river mouth, between the river and Playa de Arnielles, in the ria itself. Bathers are advised not to swim far from the shore because currents run toward one side of the ria or the other. The sand alternates coarse dark grains with a small breakwater.
