Serín and La Cagonera Beach, Protected coastal area in Somió, Spain.
Serín and La Cagonera are two beaches along the coast of Somió stretching about 350 meters in total. Golden coarse sand mingles with rocky outcrops, and the width changes depending on the tide and section you visit.
These shores have long served as natural anchoring points for fishing boats, shaping how people used them over time. The beaches have stayed largely the same since these practices began, keeping their connection to local maritime life.
These beaches hold deep meaning for local fishermen, who have shaped the area through their daily work and presence for hundreds of years. The fishing boats and nets you see reflect how people here depend on and connect with the sea.
You can reach these beaches by taking city bus lines 14 or 25 from central Gijón, making access straightforward. During summer months, lifeguards watch the water and basic facilities are available to help you spend your time here safely.
La Cagonera features a shell-shaped rock formation that creates a sheltered harbor where small fishing boats find protection from rough seas. This natural curve has made the spot especially valuable for local fishing operations over the years.
