Playa de los Mayanes is a quiet beach located near a city, making it easily accessible on foot. It is an integral part of the Gijón coast in Asturias. The beach is known for its rocky terrain, which makes it a unique contrast to the sandy San Lorenzo beach. This characteristic, however, can make it uncomfortable for sunbathing and swimming due to the abundance of stones.
The beach is less crowded than the popular San Lorenzo beach, offering a more peaceful experience. However, it is smaller in size and can be significantly reduced during high tide. Visitors are advised to exercise caution during rough sea days as the waves can be very strong, potentially catching people off guard.
Despite its rocky nature, the beach offers incredible views of the bay of San Lorenzo and is a great spot for a walk. It is also a pet-friendly beach, making it a good choice for dog owners. However, due to its natural characteristics, there may be better options in Asturias for those seeking a more traditional beach experience.
