Playa de Arnao, Sand beach in Castropol, Asturias, Spain
The 450-meter-long Playa de Arnao presents white sand stretching between rocky cliffs, with the Ribadeo bridge visible in the distance across the estuary.
The beach area features remnants of a former mining operation, including a rehabilitated castle that stands as a reminder of the region's industrial past.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices along the coastline, contributing to the preservation of regional maritime heritage and gastronomy.
Visitors can access the beach through a sloping ramp and utilize facilities including showers, toilets, and waste bins, with lifeguard service during summer months.
The beach contains La Hollina, a natural pool that forms during low tide, alongside fossilized coral formations that create an extensive reef platform.
