Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Praia de Naval (A Coruna) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Praia de Naval (A Coruna) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Praia de Naval for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach near the castle of Santa Cruz is easily accessible and has paid parking lots. Going up a hill to the right, you'll find a dirt road that leads down to the beach, where there is a lifeguard post and an ice cream kiosk. The beach itself is split in two, with one half covered in pebbles that make walking difficult and the other half being sand. While it's a bit run down, it's still an ideal spot for a beach day.

The beach may be tiny, but it's perfect for city-dwellers. The waves are gentle, the algae is scarce, and there's a beach bar and lifeguard service. Plus, you get a spectacular view of the La Coruña bay, making it the perfect spot to catch a beautiful sunset - if you're lucky.

On a sun-drenched day, the beach is a stunning sight to behold. The golden sand, glistening waters and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore combine to create an idyllic atmosphere. The sun's rays reflecting off the water's surface add to the beauty of the scene. It's a perfect place to relax, unwind and take in the breathtaking views.
