Playa de Munielles is a picturesque beach located in the municipality of Castrillón, in the region of Asturias, Spain. The beach is characterized by its fine sand mixed with pebbles and black sand, which are possibly remnants of sedimented coal from a nearby river. This unique feature is particularly noticeable during low tide. The beach is also surrounded by striking cliffs and eucalyptus trees, providing a scenic and cool landscape.
The beach is not excessively large, but it offers a tranquil atmosphere and is well-maintained. During low tide, an additional area on the left side of the beach becomes accessible, providing more space for visitors. However, when the tide is high, the free space on the beach may be limited.
Playa de Munielles is equipped with amenities such as showers and a foot-washing fountain. During the summer season, there is a lifeguard on duty, ensuring the safety of the visitors. One of the unique features of Playa de Munielles is its access to an adjoining beach area, which is typically less crowded and provides a more secluded experience.
Access to Playa de Munielles is via a steep cemented road that leads to a car park. Despite its slope, the road is easy to navigate. The car park is quite good and free of charge. Although there is no mobile network coverage at the beach, it remains a popular spot for surfers and those seeking a peaceful beach experience.
