Playa de la Tayada

Playa de la Tayada is a picturesque beach nestled in the town of Llanes, in the province of Asturias, Spain. This beach is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil ambiance. It is set in an open sea setting and is distinguished by its fine golden sand, natural caves in the rocks, and surrounding mountains. The beach, which spans 100 meters in length and 45 meters in width, significantly expands during low tide, revealing a breathtaking landscape that is greatly admired by visitors. However, the beach becomes smaller at high tide, though it still maintains its charm.

The beach is characterized by strong waves and the presence of vegetation, making it a protected area. Despite its urbanization, it has a medium level of occupancy, providing a peaceful retreat for beachgoers. Notably, Playa de la Tayada allows dogs, provided they are kept on a leash, and is also a known spot for practicing nudism, adding to its unique appeal.

However, access to the beach can be quite challenging. Visitors are advised to wear suitable footwear to navigate the rocky terrain. Moreover, the accessibility of the beach is influenced by the tide, and visitors are encouraged to keep track of the tide's evolution to ensure that the access is not submerged in water. The beach does not have signage or facilities for disabled access, and the closest road is N-634. Unfortunately, there is no bus service or parking available, and the beach is approximately 50 km away from the port of Llanes.

Despite its natural allure, Playa de la Tayada lacks amenities. There are no services such as toilets, showers, or waste bins, and there are no establishments for food or drinks. Additionally, there are no rental services for sunbeds, umbrellas, or water sports equipment, and there is no diving area, surf practice area, children's area, or sports area. The beach is also unsupervised and located within a privately owned property, yet access to the beach is permitted, making it a hidden gem for those seeking solitude and natural beauty.
