Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Praia dos Frades (Pontevedra) 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 dos Frades (Pontevedra) 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 dos Frades 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.

Small beach between the rocks. The sea & its waves are spectacular here crystal clear teaming with shellfish clinging to the rocks like mussels and goose barnacles. Good place to sunbathe away from the mass of people and to for a dip Spectacular views.

Nice beach in Baiona within the Monterreal Fortress. To the open sea of thick sand, be careful with the tides

Oriented to the west, the modest-sized beach is rocked by the winds. Quite quickly crowded in summer.
