Playa de San Lorenzo

The water feels quite cold, and the sand near the shoreline is firm and compact due to the moisture. There are plenty of surfers out enjoying the waves, as well as several people paddleboarding nearby.

Nice beach in front of the city. Monitor tide, as the beach can be covered almost entirely by water at times, while during low tide there is lots of space available. You can also rent surf boards In surf schools nearby.

Beautiful city beach, great for a relaxing stroll or just chilling, and you are almost certainly guaranteed a lungful of P10 particles or some other pollutants from the very nearby industrial zone. A shame, but hey, who's gonna do anything about it? Certainly not the local politicians..... Visit Chernobyl instead

Gijón and the region of Asturias are beautiful and extremely green and lush, unlike most of Spain. Playa de San Lorenzo is definitely the city's centerpiece and for good reason. There's a nice promenade if you don't want to actually go down to the beach and a large sandy beach if you do. The water was very clean.

A beautiful beach! My husband and I had a few hours before our flight and stumbled onto this beach for a stroll: nice promenade along the beach for those who may want to keep their feet off the sand; big sand beach and great views.

Perfect day, unforgettable meal and beautiful city…!!!

I heard that St. Lorenzo Beach in Gijon is the busiest beach in Asturias and I am guessing is on summer time. The beach is really long and beautiful with golden sand and high waves. You can see many people playing sand sports, specially surfing since early morning every day from all the surf schools along the boulevard. It is amazing and very relaxing!!

The beach is a five star. Clean, nice and shallow. Great for playing and swimming. Great sand. Great beach walk. Few good coffee places and even worse parking facilities and the ones that exists are really small and not up to date. Also no dogs allowed regardless the hours. Would be fair to allow dogs early in the mornings, say until 9:00. There are no one there that early anyways. Dogs allowed between October and April.
