Little beach - it's always full to the brim! No matter how early you arrive, it's already crowded with beachgoers.

That place is great for families; it has a shower and the water is tranquil, yet not too chilly. At low tide, you can spot wild mussels on the rocks and, in the sand, what looks like worms but are really just cockles' sand spit. A perfect spot for all ages to enjoy.

Praia de Area da Barca is situated in the Covelo of Pontevedra. It has a half-shell shape, with sandy and coarse gravel, sheltered from the wind and with tranquil waters, making it perfect for swimming. From the beach, you can enjoy a stunning view of the Pontevedra Ría and the Illa de Tambo if you look to the left. It's a semi-urban beach, offering a tranquil atmosphere to enjoy the beauty of nature.

This place is stunning, and not overly busy. It's close to the road and has a hotel with a view of the ocean. It is situated in Covelo, in the province of Pontevedra.

This location is a great spot to escape the hustle and bustle of life. It's a small stretch of sand with showers, perfect for a tranquil getaway. You can soak up the stunning views of Tambo Island and the estuary's rafts from here. It's the ideal place to relax and unwind.
