Located at Poblacion, Asturias, the HUMAPOBAS Floating Deck is the newest tourist attraction in the area. Staying true to their motto of #AsturiasAtongHiyas, the floating deck is a good way of promoting the beautiful beaches located in Asturias.

Made with locally sourced materials such as bamboo, the floating deck gives life to the traditional beach in Poblacion. Decorative flags are also found in the area, in contrast to the natural tropical trees found by the beach, making it a decorative and beautiful mix.

For everyone’s safety and security, those who want to go to the floating deck are required to use the life vests provided. Also, the place is guarded with local life guards that are skilled in cases of emergency. Many guests also commend the general staff, particularly to their helpfulness and politeness.

Also, the affordable entrance fees really entice the locals as well as the free entrance fee for those who are 5 years older and below.
