Playa de Viavélez

Playa de Viavélez stretches along 100 meters of coastline, featuring dark sand and medium-sized grains bordered by rocky formations at the fishing port entrance.

The beach area connects to ancient Roman settlements, evidenced by archaeological remains found near Santa María de Miudes church dating from the 5th century.

The surrounding region maintains strong fishing traditions, with local fishermen still operating from the adjacent port using traditional Asturian fishing methods.

Access to the beach requires walking through the port area, and visitors should check tide schedules as the beach width varies significantly throughout the day.

The beach location within an active fishing port creates an unusual combination where maritime industry meets recreational space in western Asturias.
