Playa de Ortiguera

The beach features stretches of golden sand bordered by natural rock formations, creating distinct sections for swimming and sunbathing along the Asturian coast.

Located near a traditional fishing village, this beach played a role in the maritime activities of Breton sailors who settled here for whaling during past centuries.

The beach area connects to local fishing traditions, with residents maintaining customs of seafood gathering and celebrating maritime festivals throughout the year.

Access to the beach requires following marked paths from Ortigueira village, with optimal visiting times during low tide for exploring the complete shoreline.

Three natural waterfalls cascade directly onto the beach shore, creating an unusual combination of fresh and salt water meeting points.
