Playa de El Dólar, Beach in Castrillón, Spain.
Playa de El Dólar is a small beach along the Asturian coast with dark sand and pebbles forming a natural shell-shaped cove. It stretches about 200 meters and is framed by rocky outcrops that slope gently toward the water.
The beach's name comes from old fishing tales where workers reportedly found coins buried in the sand. These local stories remain part of the area's identity today.
The beach area connects to regional maritime traditions through small fishing boats that still launch from its shores today.
There are no parking facilities or lifeguard services, so plan accordingly before visiting. Visitors should be prepared for the conditions of this secluded coastal location and come with what they need.
This location sits directly beside an industrial complex, creating an unusual blend of natural coastal features and modern manufacturing. This unexpected contrast offers a distinct perspective on how industrial activity coexists with the shoreline.
