Playa de La Ribera

Playa de La Ribera stretches between the old harbor of Luanco and modern marina facilities, forming a continuous seaside area. The eastern section features rocky rock formations that shape the shoreline's character.

The rock formations on the eastern side were once used as stone quarries in past centuries to extract building materials. This historical use shaped the current appearance and structure of the shoreline.

This beach hosts tennis competitions played on natural sand courts, a rare sporting tradition found in very few places worldwide. Visitors can watch this unusual blend of sport and seaside life during tournament season.

The beach disappears completely underwater at high tide, so visitors should check tide schedules before arriving. Knowing about the nearby Playa de Luanco as a backup option helps plan your visit more flexibly.

The eastern rock formation rises noticeably above the waterline and acts as a natural barrier protecting the beach. This distinctive feature makes this stretch particularly appealing to photographers and landscape observers.
