El Monte bedste strande

This beach is incredible! Let's make sure to keep it clean.

This stunning sandy beach is located next to the abandoned Perlora Vacation City, just a stone's throw away from Candás, the capital of the Asturian council of Carreño. It is a great spot to spend a pleasant day at the beach, with its golden fine sand and moderate waves, as well as its stunning coves, caves and abundant vegetation. To the west of the beach, Entrellusa Island can be seen, which was the site of an ancient whaling port since 1232. There is also a coastal, pedestrian path, taking advantage of the route of an old railway, to the nearby town of Xivares, making it an ideal complement to a day of beach fun. With good equipment and rescue services in high season, this is a great spot for all types of people.

The beach may be small, but it is certainly picturesque and secluded. Its orange sand is ideal for taking a stroll on a sunny winter day, but in summer it tends to be crowded. The town of Luanco is lovely, and the food is great - but the beach still doesn't make up for the throngs of people in the summertime.

Far from ideal for family trips. The sand is too fine and the area is too open, making it difficult to find any privacy. Furthermore, getting to the beach from Avilés by bus is a hassle. There are some cliffs nearby, but it's not an inviting place to take a stroll.

This location in Asturias is amazing! At low tide, there's plenty of sand, and even at high tide, it still has its charm. Plus, the Miro is full but still incredibly comfortable. And you can even swim without boats passing overhead because of the stairs! Plus, it's only two minutes to town and there are two parking areas - one small one at the beginning of Perlora, and one larger and free one near the port. All this, plus you can enjoy a snack, a few beers, or a delicious ice cream from Helio Brothers in Alcant. What more could you ask for?

The beach was a great place to stay, though the sand was incredibly fine, almost like dust. When the wind picked up, it was not a pleasant experience as the sand was everywhere in the air.
