BEACHES: CUEVAS DEL MAR BEACH

In the previous article I wrote about a small but tremendously beautiful beach, Guadamía Beach. This time I’d like to tell you about one of the many other beaches in the municipality of Llanes, Cuevas del Mar Beach.

Unlike Guadamía Beach, Cuevas del Mar Beach does not owe its name to the river that runs into it, River de Nueva, but rather to the caves that are found in the rocks on this beach, caused by sea erosion.

This beach in Llanes can be reached by car and apart from being beautiful it is sheltered from the wind thanks to its shell-like form, making it ideal for a fantastic day on the beach.

BEACHES: GUADAMÍA BEACH

As many of you will know, the east coast of Asturias is of unparallel beauty, which explains why this area is chosen as the setting for film shoots.

Thanks to film, we know of a lot of hidden corners along the coast of eastern Asturias, but there are still quite many that are not so well known. A clear example is Guadamía Beach, found in the municipality of Llanes.

The municipalities of Ribadesella and Llanes are divided along the coast by the River Guadamía, which gives its name to this lovely beach.

The access to Guadamía Beach is very good and can be reached by car – well not right up to the beach itself, you have to walk down some 50m to it. Frankly, it’s a beach that even if I had to walk several kilometres to get there, I would do so with pleasure. As always, there is a map at the end of the article where you’ll find this beach in Llanes.
