Playa de L’Airín, Protected beach and ecological site in Novellana, Spain.

Playa de L'Airín is a protected beach on the Costa Occidental of Asturias featuring light gray sand and natural rock formations along its edges. The shoreline stretches about 650 meters and is surrounded by meadows and gentle hillside terrain.

Playa de L'Airín lies in the parish of Novellana, in the council of Cudillero, on Asturias' western coast. The sources record no settlement or maritime history for the cove itself; its documented past is one of protection, as it is listed as a protected landscape, a Special Protection Area for birds and a Site of Community Importance.

The beach belongs to the village of Novellana, and the access route begins in the village centre, where a lane runs north from the N-634 and forks; walkers take the left branch. The cove lies within the Costa Occidental protected landscape, also designated a ZEPA and LIC, and has no services of any kind.

Reaching the beach requires a walk of about 300 meters from the parking area through meadows on a zigzag path leading downhill. The route is straightforward and takes only a few minutes, making it accessible for most visitors.

The beach lies within a landscape protected as Paisaje Protegido, ZEPA and LIC, and a stream reaches the sea at its mouth. It has no services of any kind, and the activities recommended in the sources are spearfishing and rod fishing from the shore.
