O Carballino - all beaches

Lapaman beach is the best in the area, though all the beaches here are great. Agrelo beach is small and tranquil, and it has two beach bars.

This afternoon I was invited to go for a walk along the beach of Rodeira, located just a few steps away from downtown Cangas.

Anything but impressive. It's small and quiet, but that means there's hardly any space to put your towels when the tide comes in. Not to mention, the view is marred by the presence of too many boats. All in all, it's not much of an excuse to go for a drink at the beach bar.

I try to visit this beach whenever I can because I really enjoy it.

This medium-sized urban beach at the entrance to Moaña is a great spot for a day at the beach. It is clean and well-maintained, and has a park and grove area that provides plenty of shaded areas to rest and eat. It is also a great spot for shellfishing, but don't worry, the beach is not muddy! At low tide, you can walk out quite far, and at high tide the water is of a normal depth. The waves are not frequent, and there is a lifeguard service as well as a shower with a footbath. Plus, there is a beach bar in the tree area at the entrance, with great views of the city of Vigo. Best of all, the beach is easily accessible!

It is may be small, but it sure packs a punch! The service is top-notch, and there are more amenities here than at larger beaches. Plus, the water is crystal clear and pristine.
