The beach is surrounded by a rugged environment and several are nearby where we can take height and see the idyllic picture of this beach: that enters, between the soft cliffs and the green of the meadows, like a warm orange wedge .
From the Ñora there is a path that leads us to a nearby lookout, a natural battlement from which the perspective of the beach acquires greater notoriety and beauty. The same happens with the coastline that continues to the East and West.
On clear days, from this viewpoint, we will clearly appreciate the profiles of a coastal stretch that includes two of the most outstanding capes of the Principality: Cape San Lorenzo and Cape Peñas.
The beach is 250 meters long and is made up of sand, rocky outcrops and blocks, which gives it a certain geological mix that makes it more attractive.
In front of it we discover the famous Peña el Romero, which is revealed at low tide. It is a flat and unique stone, a paradise for bathers and fishermen.
Information:
Services: the beach has a high summery occupation, it has hygienic services, drinking water, showers, surveillance and parking.

Access: two are the starting points to reach the Ñora beach: from the village of Quintueles, following the course of a narrow and steep road; and from the village of La Providencia, in Gijón, descending the cliffs to end on the left bank of this beach, which enjoys a very pleasant walk on this margin, which leads to a viewpoint of the beach and the coast.
