Mid tide
Asturias' classic beach break: a long, exposed sand beach with multiple peaks over shifting banks, capable of holding size and producing hollow sections on the right bank. It is one of the most consistent spots on the north Spanish coast and the hub of surf in the region. Best on a mid tide and offshore (SE) wind.

Getting there
Park along the Salinas seafront (Av. de la Playa). Peaks spread along the whole beach — the better banks shift with the season.
