San Pedro de la Ribera is a beach of sand and pebbles at the mouth of a small valley west of Cudillero. It is fairly exposed and catches north-west swell, best in winter. Lefts and rights break off the sand, with some reef sections. Submerged rocks are the main hazard. It is rarely crowded, quieter than the beaches further east.
