Playa de Verdicio, Sand beach in Gozón, Asturias, Spain.
Playa de Verdicio is a sand beach along the Cantabrian coast, surrounded by tall cliffs and rock formations stretching about 500 meters. The wide shoreline has golden sand and features small rocky islets that become visible during low tide.
Archaeological findings from the Lower Paleolithic period show that humans lived in this area during very ancient times. These discoveries reveal the long settlement history of northern Asturias.
The beach is a gathering place where local fishing practices shape daily life in the Gozón community. These traditions connect residents to the sea and form an important part of their identity.
Access is through marked pathways, and parking and lifeguard services are available during summer months. Visitors should check tide times if they plan to explore the rocky islets.
At low tide, natural pools form between the rocky islets, filling with seawater and creating habitats for starfish, crabs, and other marine creatures. These shallow basins become popular spots for exploration and showcase marine life up close.
