Coedo, Shingle beach in Navia, Spain.
Coedo is a beach near Navia along the Asturian coast, stretching about 50 meters and combining golden sand with shingle stones. The shoreline forms a natural gradient where pebbles gradually mix with finer material as you approach the water.
Coedo lies in the Asturian council of Navia, in the parish of Las Cortinas, and is catalogued as a ZEPA (Special Protection Area for Birds) and a Site of Community Importance, although it falls outside the Protected Landscape of the Western Asturian Coast. The sources record no founding date or historical events for the cove itself; its documented record is administrative and ecological.
The beach lies off Las Cortinas in Navia and has no services at all; the sources recommend recreational rod fishing and underwater fishing here. Bathers share the cove with anglers, and the stream mouth at the sand is the usual spot for a line.
The easiest route starts beside the football pitch in Andés: follow the only road toward the sea, which after about 700 m becomes a winding rural track ending in a meadow, from where you walk to the centre of the beach. On foot the approach is roughly 500 m long. The beach has no services of any kind, and a small stream reaches the sea here.
The site carries dual designations as both a Special Protection Area and a Site of Community Importance based on its ecological features. This recognition reflects the value of the environment for wildlife and plants.
