Playas de L’Atalaya y Focarón

The beaches of L'Atalaya and Focarón extend along 720 meters of coastline, featuring grey sand, gravel, and distinctive rock formations against steep cliffs.

The beaches have been a natural barrier protecting the Asturian coast since ancient times, with geological formations dating back millions of years.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at these beaches, using specific techniques passed down through generations of coastal communities.

Visitors should check tide schedules before arrival, as the connection between the two beaches becomes accessible only during low tide periods.

The beaches form part of a special protection area where numerous bird species nest in the surrounding cliffs throughout different seasons.
