Jose Antonio Vilán Costas

Novice Beachgoer

6 Pleasant

More than a beach it can be called a cove. A small piece of fine white sand, clean water and creatinine, with incredible views of the Cíes Islands. I don't give it more points because unfortunately the walls of the houses have it embedded and little by little it is disappearing. Better to go at low tide, if it is at high tide there is practically no room and if there is a spring tide, it almost disappears. In summer it is difficult to park, since the entrance is wedged between houses and there is no space. Better if you come by bike or by bus,

2 Very poor

Typical fishing beach, but a terrible option to spend the day. At low tide it is uncomfortable due to the amount of rocks there are and when the tide rises the cove disappears. Swimming is complicated and dangerous, there is a lot of current and it is infested with sea urchins.

Quiet area with crystal clear and clean water. You enjoy wonderful views of the Cíes Islands. Ideal for diving, yes, with a wetsuit because the water is rarely there for bathing
