Beach · Sand and pebbles at the mouth of the Esqueiro · Lifeguards, toilets and parking · The most convenient with children

Also called San Pedro de Bocamar, in Soto de Luiña, where the River Esqueiro reaches the sea: about 350 metres of toasted-coloured sand and rounded pebbles. You can drive to the car park, and it has rescue cover, showers, toilets, bars and adapted access with an amphibious chair. Cudillero's tourist office suggests it as the ideal beach for the whole family.
What the beach is like
Turismo Asturias counts it among the most important sand beaches of the council area and among the busiest and most popular. The River Esqueiro flows into it and feeds it with clear water, so on the same beach you have both river and sea. The sand is toasted in colour, mixed with rounded pebbles. It held a Blue Flag for several years and received the Q for Tourist Quality in 2012.
Facilities and accessibility
The official listing lists catering, showers, toilets, parking and rescue service, which operates every day from 26 June to 8 September. It is one of the best-equipped beaches for people with reduced mobility: it has adapted showers, changing rooms and toilets, a walkway, a ramp and an amphibious chair for bathing. For that reason, and because the car is parked close to the sand, it is the most convenient if you have a pushchair or grandparents.
From 1 June to 30 September dogs are not allowed on the beach. On the promenades and urban areas by the accesses they may be on a fixed lead of one metre at most. If you are travelling with a dog, the beach that admits them all year is Salencia cove.
How to get there and when to go
It is west of Cudillero, in the parish of Soto de Luiña, and you drive to the beach car park. In July and August, with the crowds it draws, it is best to arrive before midday. For a beach day with children, allow the whole morning or afternoon, and bring water shoes for the pebbles.
What to see nearby
In Soto de Luiña, Turismo Asturias recommends visiting the church linked to the vaqueiros de alzada, the transhumant herders of western Asturias. The beach can also be seen from the sea on the boat trip to Cape Vidío, which passes in front of it. If you then want a viewpoint, Cape Vidío and its lighthouse is very close, in Oviñana. And if you prefer another beach with facilities closer to the town, the Concha de Artedo.
