Frejulfe
A quiet beach among meadows and pines, with beach peaks and a rivermouth to the east.
Frejulfe, near Navia, is a beach surrounded by meadows and pine forest, with beach-break peaks and a river mouth at the eastern end. It works best with 1–2 m of north-west swell.
It's much quieter than the beaches of central Asturias, and on small days it's a good place to progress.
