Playa de Estaño, Sandy beach in Gijón, Spain
Playa de Estaño is a sandy beach along the coast of Gijón with dark sand and rocky outcrops that form natural edges on both sides. Cliffs frame the shoreline, giving the beach a rugged and undeveloped appearance.
Fishermen have used the beach since the early 20th century as a working fishing area. This long history of maritime activity shaped how the place developed and remains connected to the sea.
The beach draws locals during summer months who gather to enjoy regional food and music in a casual seaside setting.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and changing areas along with parking available at some distance from downtown. It is easily accessible on foot from nearby neighborhoods, especially during warmer months when it gets busier.
The western section has a natural rock pool called Pozo del Cura and a small rocky islet known as La Tortuga. These formations offer visitors something distinct to explore within the larger shoreline.
