Latest reviews on Gijon's beaches

Playa del Arbeyal
10 William Stevenson

The beach was incredibly pleasant and well-maintained. We chose to stay at the campground.

La Ñora Beach
8 Luis Fernando Peralta

This location is incredibly difficult to access - it's almost brutal. However, it is still easy to get to, making it a great option for those looking for a secluded spot.

Playa de Estano
8 Marcella and Christopher.

Playa de Estano is huge and eerily silent. It's like a ghost town, but with sand instead of buildings. You can almost feel the stillness in the air. It's a great place to go if you want to feel totally alone.

Rodiles Beach
6 Miguel Alejandro Lopez

The beach may look nice, but it gets crowded quickly in the summer months. Parking is free, but it can be hard to find a spot. The bar and public restrooms and showers are close by, but they can be busy, too. Beach watch service is available during the summer, but that doesn't stop the beach from becoming overcrowded.

Verdicio Beach
10 Lysandra Vale

This beach is incredible! Let's make sure to keep it clean.

Playa de Espana
6 Santiago Gutierrez

An ideal spot for those seeking a quality outdoor experience with their furry friends. The atmosphere is pleasant and the people are friendly. It would be great if the government could open up more pet-friendly locations like this one.
