A perfect crescent of pale sand between two green headlands, with no promenade, no buildings and no road down to it. You see the whole of it from the viewpoint above, which is where almost everyone stops first.
Below there are more than five hundred metres of fine sand, dunes and a stream that comes out at one end. In summer there is a lifeguard service and usually a beach bar; the rest of the year it is just the sea.
A little history
Torimbia has been for decades one of the emblematic nudist beaches of Asturias: it was one of the first, and that free spirit is part of its fame, even though today both coexist without any problem.

Getting there
Without a car
Bus to Llanes or Posada and a taxi to Niembro; the last stretch is on foot either way.
By car
An hour and a quarter from the house. Park up at Niembro and walk down.
Before you go
- The descent is a steep ten-minute path, and the climb back up makes itself felt.
- It is traditionally a nudist beach, though these days both coexist without fuss.
- No facilities and no lifeguard, and a northerly brings in heavy surf.
- The viewpoint above is worth the stop even if you never go down.
