Lastre, Olive sand beach in La Unión, Spain
Lastre is a beach with olive-colored sand on the Mediterranean coast near La Unión. The shoreline stretches about 50 meters long and 40 meters wide.
The beach took shape alongside the region's mining industry during the 1800s, when mineral extraction dominated the area. This development left its mark on both the landscape and the character of the place.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Lastre Beach, using small boats and nets to catch Mediterranean fish species.
This beach has showers, toilets, and waste bins for visitor needs. Parking spaces sit within a short walk from the shore.
The unusual olive tint of the sand comes from mineral deposits left by past mining operations in the surrounding mountains. This natural feature makes the beach easy to spot and tells the story of the region's industrial past.
