Best Beaches in Gijón – ¿Which beaches to visit?

Gijón, or also known as Xixón in Asturian, is the most populous city in the principality of Asturias, counting in the last census with about two hundred seventy-five thousand inhabitants. The incredible Cantabrian Sea bathes the coasts and shores of Gijón, one of the reasons why the beaches of Gijón are an attraction in northern Spain. In case we go to visit Gijon, it is noteworthy that only about 25 km away we can visit both Oviedo and Avilés, so it is a good incentive to score a hat-trick in the visit to the Asturian city.

Poniente Beach (Gijón)

Surrounded by a promenade of more than 500 meters long we have the imposing Poniente beach, which accompanies the port of Gijón. The beach is one of the hearts of the city of Gijón and one of its main attractions during the best weather. The beach itself has more than 800 meters long and a width of 70 meters, protected by a breakwater, and equipped with artificial sand. Ideal to go with the family or with children, it has a large number of facilities and as we can see in the picture moving to the beach will not be a problem. For comfort, closeness and facilities, the Poniente Beach could not be missing in this list. We can get there through the line: 1,4,6,12,16.

Aberyal Beach (Gijón)

The Aberyal Beach is in this occasion another beach of artificial sand framed in the city of Gijón, but in this case to the West of the same, between the neighborhoods of Natahoyo and the Calzada.  Its more than 500 meters and its many facilities such as parking, bus lines, showers and areas for children make it one of the best options also without having to move much of the urban core.  It should be noted that it is an ideal place for water sports, also in the area there are several rental companies of such material. We will be able to move by bus by means of line 4 and 6.

Beach of Estaño (Gijón)

In this case, the Peña de Estaño is a more rural beach than the previous ones, we could characterize it as a semi-urban beach because of its location and facilities we could not say that it is a natural beach. Its dimensions are also somewhat smaller, with just 300 meters long and less than 20 meters wide make the space is not the greatest of its virtues. However, the views offered by this beach, the natural environment surrounded bygreen areas and its bar El Indio where we can take a break from the beach make it a more than recommendable destination. For all those looking for a more natural environment, Estaño beach is a must on your trip.
