Playa de El Cuerno, Sandy beach in Castrillón, Spain.
Playa de El Cuorno is a beach on Spain's Costa Verde with dark sand and pebbles nestled against tall rocky cliffs. The small cove fits only a few dozen beachgoers at a time due to its tight size.
The beach took its name from a small island that connects to shore at low tide, creating a horn-like silhouette. This rocky formation has shaped the location's identity for generations.
The Philippe Cousteau anchor museum collection stands on La Peñona promontory, separating El Cuerno from Salinas Beach.
The beach has limited facilities and parking nearby, making it better for short visits or during quieter times. Strong waves and currents require caution when swimming here.
At low tide, visitors can walk out to a small rocky islet that emerges from the Cantabrian Sea. This temporary feature makes the place feel different depending on when you arrive.
