The beach here offers some of the most inviting waters around and the town is simply delightful. You won't be disappointed by the array of great eateries either. It's a perfect spot for a getaway!

This place is simply stunning! During the summer months, the water is warmer here than in other nearby beaches. The sand is delightful and the view is breathtaking - it's perfect for a leisurely stroll or a jog no matter what time of year it is.

Playa America is a lengthy beach with tiny grains of sand and clear water, located in one of Spain's most stunning areas. Although it is worth a visit, it is not worth the hype.

It's one of the best in the area, but finding parking can be a bit of a nightmare. Unless you're camping, you'll struggle to squeeze your car in during peak season (June, July, August).

This expansive beach in Galicia stretches for over two kilometres, making it one of the largest in the area. During the summer months, tourists flock to the shoreline to take advantage of the waves, while surfers are also drawn to the area. For those wanting to take a dip, the waves can be quite strong, so swimmers should be aware of the conditions. From this beach, you can enjoy stunning views of the Baiona Bay and the Cies Islands. Plus, there are plenty of amenities nearby in Nigran.
