This beach near Priegue may be small, but it's great! I can't wait to go back!

This small beach is a secret treasure close to Vigo/Baiona. It's a favorite destination for those who like to sunbathe in the buff, with spectacular views of the Cies Islands. There's a shower, lifeguard station, a beachside bar (operating only during summer) and parking for vehicles. All in all, a great place to get a tan without clothes.

This beach is a popular spot for those looking for a clothing-optional experience. Unfortunately, parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially during the summer months when the beach is usually packed.

This location is simply amazing! The water is particularly chilly, even for those of us who are used to it. But the showers and toilets are conveniently located, and there's a bar with outdoor seating that offers an incredible view of the Cies Islands and the sea. It's a truly spectacular sight!
