El Estaño is a small sand-and-rock beach east of Gijón, wrapped in greenery and a little hidden: you reach it on foot, which keeps it quiet even in summer.
Its semi-wild feel and clean water make it perfect for escaping the crowds and swimming in nature, just a short way from the city.
What to see & do here
- Walk down to the cove
- Swim in a green, natural setting
- Escape the downtown crowds
- Explore its rocks and pools
Did you know?
- El Estaño owes its calm to being a bit hidden: you have to walk down, which keeps the crowds away.
- It keeps a wilder, more natural feel than Gijón's big city beaches.
