Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de la Fuente is a small, isolated beach of golden sand and cobbles, lying before cliffs. Its 150 metres in length and 20 metres in width receive strong swell and have few visitors, within a protected area associated with Parque Natural de Oyambre. It can be reached on foot or by car from the CN-634, with fewer than 50 parking spaces. The absence of facilities leaves the emphasis on the landscape and the shore's natural composition.
