Playa de Lastres

Playa de Lastres, also known as Playa L'Estilleru, is a semi-urban beach located in the coastal town of Colunga in Asturias, Spain. The beach is characterized by its golden sand mixed with pebbles and gravel and is set against a backdrop of cliffs. Spanning a length of 300 meters, the beach is known for its clean, calm waters which attract families and other beach-goers.

The beach is easily accessible by a ramp leading down to the sand. It can also be reached via a small road off the main road, though the sharp turn leading down to the beach might not be suitable for larger vehicles. Limited parking is available near the beach, so visitors may need to consider this when planning their trip.

Playa de Lastres is equipped with several amenities for the convenience of its visitors. These include showers, toilets, and hospitality services. The beach also operates under specific regulations regarding pets, allowing them on the promenades and urban areas near the beach if they are leashed and muzzled if necessary. However, pets are prohibited on the beach itself from May 1st to September 30th.

In addition to the beach itself, the nearby town of Lastres offers additional attractions. Notably, this includes a picturesque fishing port and a viewpoint with a small recreational area, offering panoramic views of the beach and the surrounding sea. The town, which was named the 'exemplary town of Asturias' in 2010, is located uphill from the beach.

Despite its popularity, Playa de Lastres maintains a quiet and serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful beach experience. The beach is also part of the Asturian Smoke-Free Beach Network, reflecting its commitment to providing a clean and healthy environment for its visitors.
