Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Castiel is a very small cove, 50 metres long and 37 metres wide, set between cliffs and formed by rounded stones. Its difficult access on foot helps explain the low use by bathers, in an isolated stretch with strong waves. The beach lies within Paisaje Protegido de la Costa Occidental, with vegetation and recognition as a Special Protection Area for Birds (ZEPA) and a Site of Community Importance (SCI). It is reached from the N-634, and the listing records no specific services, although it identifies Luarca as the port reference.
