Asturias & Cantabria: Hidden and Exotic Beaches to Discover

The northern coast of Spain is lined with beaches that seem almost otherworldly—where cliffs, forests, and turquoise waters meet in harmony. For those seeking more than a typical seaside escape, Asturias and Cantabria offer shores that are dramatic, intimate, and inspiring.

Playa de Torimbia

Asturias

  • Playa del Silencio (Cudillero): True to its name, this “Beach of Silence” is a hidden cove framed by towering cliffs. Its pebbled shore and calm waters create a meditative atmosphere, perfect for reflection or slow, mindful walks.
  • Playa de Gulpiyuri: A small inland beach, where the sea seems to appear magically through a sinkhole. It’s tiny, unique, and entirely enclosed by green cliffs—a natural wonder that feels enchanted.
  • Playa de Torimbia (Llanes): Golden sand, clear waters, and a dramatic backdrop of cliffs. Often quiet, with a sense of raw freedom, it’s one of the most photogenic beaches in Asturias.

Playa de los Covachos

Cantabria

  • Playa de Covachos (Suances): Surrounded by cliffs and caves, this beach feels like a hidden paradise. Its rock formations are perfect for exploring or quiet meditation by the waves.
  • Playa de Somo: A long stretch of golden sand with wild dunes, ideal for walking, surfing, or simply watching the horizon. It combines natural beauty with a soft, windswept energy.
  • Playa de La Arnía (Ribamontán al Mar): Dramatic cliffs and rock formations make this beach feel almost sculpted by another world. The tide reveals hidden pools and paths, inviting curiosity and exploration.

Playa de Miracielos

Tips for Visiting:

  • Early mornings or late afternoons offer the calmest, most magical light.
  • Some beaches are secluded; wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for short walks down cliffs or paths.
  • Pack a light picnic, water, and a blanket to linger longer in solitude.

Asturias and Cantabria’s northern coastline is a treasure trove of natural beauty. Each beach carries its own energy—quiet, dramatic, or playful—making them perfect for those seeking inspiration, reconnection, and the magic of the sea.
