Frexulfe Beach, Protected coastal beach in Piñera, Spain
Frexulfe Beach is a protected coastal stretch in Pinera featuring 820 meters of sandy shore bordered by stabilized dunes and pine forests. The shoreline curves along a natural bay, with rock formations and coves that shape the beach's character.
The beach has supported fishing activities from the nearby Puerto de Vega village for many generations, shaping the economic development of the area. The sheltered bay provided ideal conditions for maritime work and local livelihoods.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals celebrate summer festivals and share traditional Asturian cuisine together. These gatherings are woven into the rhythm of community life in the region.
Designated parking areas sit near the beach and are easy to reach from the main road. The eastern section offers safer swimming conditions with calmer waters, while the western area works well for coastal walks.
The beach is home to one of the few remaining Cantabrian populations of Othantus Maritimus, a protected marine plant species. This rare plant grows in the dune areas and signals the health of the coastal ecosystem.
