Visit the Cudillero Beaches
Around Cudillero there are numerous beaches that are worth a visit to enjoy them.
The most important is Playa de Oleiros, a semi-wild beach that is not very crowded, which in fact has a very small car park with capacity for a few cars.
It is located at the foot of a cliff and the difficulty in reaching it means that it continues to retain a natural appearance.
But also very important is the Playa del Silencio, located between forests and cliffs, it is not possible to access by car and can only be done on foot or by boat.
That is why it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the north of Spain and in it you will find the greatest tranquility you can imagine. Without a doubt, it is the beach that we recommend if you visit Cudillero and its surroundings.
Other important beaches are Playa de San Pedro, very crowded in summer and 400 meters long, Playa de la Concha de Artedo, made up of pebbles instead of sand, and Playa de Aguilar, 600 meters long and for surf lovers.
