A wonderful beach! Taking in the scenery, reflecting, and the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. A perfect way to spend an afternoon!

The perfect spot to make some waves - whether you're a surfing enthusiast or just want to bring the family for a day of fun in the sun. It's a great place to catch a few waves, or just relax and enjoy the scenery.

Not the best place to bask in the sun, with its dunes not being particularly great.

That place is a real paradise! The lifeguards are attentive and the crowd is just right. Surfing and bodyboarding are great here, and if you're looking for a more relaxed experience, you can just sit by the dunes and read your book with the soothing sound of the waves in the background. There are also lovely long walks available, both along the waterline and the path on the other side of the dunes. For a bit of refreshment, there are bars nearby and boardwalks across the dunes to the beach. Highly recommended!

This location in Galicia is a great spot, but you need to bring your own supplies as there's no bar nearby. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but worth it!
