One of the best and most popular surfing beaches stretches from Salinas Beach to Playa El Espartal. Salinas beach hosts a Long Board Festival every July. It has been organised for over 15 years and is one of the largest surf festivals in Europe.
Located on the Western side at the end of the long promenade is a rocky promontory which is home to the unusual Anchors Museum which displays lots of anchors that were used on real ships. There is also a lookout point with views of the coastline of Castrillón and a bust of Philippe Cousteau attached to one of the rocks - all forming a tribute to the sea offered by the people of Castrillón.
