Playa de la Paloma, also known as Esteiro, is a picturesque beach located in the municipality of Tapia de Casariego, in the province of Asturias, Spain. Known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquility, the beach is characterized by its fine white sand and moderate waves, providing a perfect setting for swimming and sunbathing.
The beach has a unique triangular shape and spans an area of 170 meters in length and 47 meters in width. During low tides, the beach's landscape changes dramatically, with rocks appearing in the middle and surroundings, and the sand taking on an 'S' shape. This natural phenomenon allows visitors to cross over to another cove. However, it's worth noting that the beach can be quite windy at times.
Playa de la Paloma is easily accessible on foot or by car, with the nearest road being the N-634. For those who prefer to drive, there is an unguarded parking lot with less than 50 spaces available. From the parking lot, a short stone path leads directly to the beach, which is not visible from the parking area. Despite this, the path is easy to navigate and doesn't pose any difficulties for visitors.
The beach offers various amenities for the comfort of its visitors, including accessibility features for disabled individuals, showers, and footbaths. During the peak season, lifeguard surveillance is provided, ensuring the safety of the beachgoers. Cleaning services are also available, maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of the beach.
During peak season, the beach tends to be crowded, particularly during the weekends. Nevertheless, the beach maintains a relatively calm atmosphere on weekdays. Its proximity to a nearby campsite also makes it a popular destination for campers.
The beach is surrounded by several coves that connect to the main beach during low tide. Additionally, there is a river called Arroyo de la Fernada nearby, which adds to the overall natural charm of the area.
