Between the textile Serantes and the awesome nudist A Mexota, El Sarello only becomes an independent beach at high tide. Nevertheless, it is always a quiet spot to sunbathe the way you want and virtually alone. Your only concern should be not to get isolated by a really high tide.
In western Asturias, close to the Galician border, you have to left the A-8 motorway towards Serantes and park in the beach. Then walk along Serantes beach to the left passing over the group of rocks that divide both beaches. At low tide you can also go around them.
The second option is to drive until the parking area of A Mexota beach. Following the edge of the cliffs to the right there is a steep path down to the beach, quite difficult to find unless you know where it is. Only at low tide, El Sarello is also accessible from A Mexota passing between the rodks and the cliff, but be careful, maybe a few minutes later this way is no longer possible.

The beach
It is not a single beach, but a series of coves at the foot of a vertical cliff, joined together or not depending on the tide. The width varies from a couple of meters to more than 50 m.
To the east, the limit with Serantes is a wall of large rounded stones fallen from the cliff. To the west, huge rocks emerge from the sand leaving a narrow pass to A Mexota almost always covered by water, but it can be easily waded at low tide (depending on the efect of tides and storms that can sometimes remove the sand).

Facilities
Nothing at all in El Sarello, but there are lifeguards and a little beach bar in Serantes.
Nudism
El Sarello is not a exactly nude beach, since many people from Serantes (exclusively textile beach) walk into this area, and some of them even stop here to swim or sunbathe, But also some people from A Mexota (nudist) do the same, so at the end El Sarello is a mixed area where everybody can wear (or not) whatever they want. Usually, nude people can be find on the west end or at the foot of the cliffs.
Other nude beaches in the area
I like:
- Being the first to walk from A Mexota to find a beach entirely for you
- The silence
I don't like:
- Having to put something on if you want to walk along the shore into Serantes beach
