Vidiago
A small beach in eastern Asturias, with few people and a friendly vibe.
Vidiago is a small sandy beach with some rock, near the border with Cantabria. It works now and then, with a north or north-west swell and low to mid tide.
When it does, there are very few people in the water and the vibe is very pleasant.
