The Gijón Coastal Trail trail runs through the municipality of Gijón, within the Asturias Greenways Catalogue. It is 2.8 km long. It is for pedestrian use only.
The route goes from Puente de El Piles - Playa de San Lorenzo - Iglesia de San Pedro - Cerro de Santa Catalina - Puerto deportivo. It is an easy trail: good surface, gentle slopes and no significant technical sections.
It is promoted by Principality of Asturias, within the Asturias Greenways Catalogue (2011). As across the whole network, it is worth checking the current state of the signage before setting off: more than a decade has passed since the official cataloguing.

- Sun or rain protection depending on the season — Asturian weather changes fast.
