Playa del Rosal

Playa del Rosal is a popular beach known for its natural beauty and vibrant surfing scene. The beach is characterized by its length, extending up to 3 km towards Cape Oyambre. This long stretch of sand provides a wonderful walk along the beach, offering views of the snow-capped Picos de Europa in the spring.

The beach is frequented by a large number of visitors, particularly in August, making it a bustling location. The popularity of the beach has led to an influx of surfers, who often occupy a significant portion of the bathing area. Despite the crowd, the beach maintains its charm and remains a favorite among many visitors.

The beach has a parking area, which charges a fee of €2 per car during the high season. However, due to the high volume of visitors, parking can be challenging, especially in August. The exit from the parking area can also be congested, as there is only one street leading out.

Despite the prohibition of dogs on the beach, enforcement of this rule seems to be lax, with a specific beach for dogs located just 500 meters away. The beach's popularity and the high number of visitors can lead to some issues with cleanliness and overcrowding, but it continues to be a beloved location for many.
