Playa de Villanueva, Sandy beach in Llanes, Spain.
La Canal beach stretches along 20 meters of golden sand, enclosed within a narrow canyon with limestone cliffs reaching toward the sea.
The beach's geological formation dates back millions of years when tectonic movements shaped the karst landscape of Asturias's eastern coastline.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices near the beach, collecting seasonal catches according to methods passed down through generations.
Access requires a 500-meter walk from the nearest parking area, and visitors should check tide schedules as the beach disappears during high tide.
The beach transforms into a natural channel during rising tides, creating a distinct water flow pattern through the limestone canyon.
