Walking around this beach is a great experience, and the sunsets are stunning. The only downside is the amount of dogs that are brought by their owners.

A delightful path along the shoreline with plenty of sights to keep you entertained. The ocean vistas are incredibly calming and it's worth taking a leisurely stroll to Carril to appreciate the estuary views at the mouth of the Ulloa River surrounded by lush hills and wooded isles. Not too busy, with just a few local inhabitants and some vacation homeowners.
