Playa de Taurán, Protected beach in Valdés, Spain.

Playa de Taurán is a beach in the Asturian council of Valdés, near the village of San Martín, within the Paisaje Protegido de la Costa Occidental de Asturias. It is 80 metres long and 50 metres wide on average, with coarse dark sand and rocky areas. The river de la Olla, born in El Vallín, flows out at the beach.

The beach lies within the Paisaje Protegido de la Costa Occidental de Asturias, a stretch of the western Asturian coast also catalogued as a ZEPA (Special Protection Area for birds) and a LIC (Site of Community Importance). The sources give no founding date or later changes for the beach itself; its recorded status is that of a protected landscape within these overlapping designations.

The beach lies beside the campsite of San Martín, and the mouth of the río de la Olla, which rises in El Vallín, reaches the sea here. Bathers come for diving, spearfishing and recreational fishing; there is no lifeguard service and no beach-cleaning service.

The beach is accessible via two walking paths: one branches off about 300 meters before the camping area while the other circles around the campsite to the west. Both routes offer convenient access depending on where you arrive from.

The stream reaching the beach is the Río de la Olla, which rises in El Vallín. The sources describe its water here as calm and very clean, and the beach has no cleaning service or lifeguard cover. Recommended activities are diving, underwater fishing and recreational fishing.
