Escalera 3 Beach Club is on Playa de Vega, a wild stretch of the Ribadesella coastline in Asturias. Part of a surf camp operation, the restaurant faces directly out to sea from a large terrace.
If it doesn't suit, the other beach clubs in Ribadesella are laid out side by side in our city guide.
Sunset is what people come back for. The outdoor terrace tables are the ones to book, and the evening light over the Atlantic is the venue's strongest selling point. Live music and DJ sets run through the evenings.
It's a seasonal place, open during the summer months only. Dinner is the main event. Reservations are worth making if you want a terrace spot at golden hour.

Nachos and mojitos are the casual go-to. Cocktails and coffee round out the drinks side. Expect to spend €20-30 per person for a full dinner.
