To enjoy in a big way

Although precautions must always be taken, there are Asturian beaches that facilitate a peaceful day with children.

Beaches that present ideal conditions for the little ones to enjoy and the older ones to lower their guard a little.


The ideal beach to go with children is one that has easy access, that is clean, with abundant fine sand, quiet, without currents or strong waves, not very windy, without covering on the shore, with a lifeguard and first aid station, and if possible located in a green and natural environment, peaceful in turn, that is not too crowded, with various services such as toilets, showers, bars or restaurants, children's play area ...

Very few meet all these requirements, but to a greater or lesser extent the list of beaches that we propose guarantee a high percentage of satisfaction for families, complying with the basic principles of entertainment for children: being able to get wet without risk, being able to fall to the ground without getting hurt, have natural attractions or special areas for their games, be it to play ball, build castles, fortifications or chase crabs with a network.

We present them from West to East, first the beaches of western Asturias, ending with the eastern ones.
