A Carballeira - 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.

The golden sand beach in Cangas de Morrazo is situated in a picturesque fishing village on the Ría de Vigo which is part of the Rías Baixas in Galicia. Despite having all the services necessary to enjoy the sea, the beach is far from ideal. The promenade that runs along the beach to the port of Cangas is unappealing and the views of the Vigo estuary are far from magnificent. There is a bike path, however the beach is very quiet due to it not being high season. We visited at the end of May and found it to be far from the relaxing break we had hoped for. Galicia may be beautiful, but this beach is not.

This spot is a delightful spot to spend a summer day. The bar is a great addition, making it even more enjoyable. However, it can get quite busy in the peak months of July and August, so if you're looking for a more relaxed experience, it might be worth visiting at a different time.

This location is easily accessible from the promenade, and is well connected. There is a park for kids to play in right on the promenade, and the sand is full of shells. It also has a volleyball net, a kiosk to buy drinks, and a fountain to rinse off your feet. Additionally, you can take boats from the beachfront to the Cíes Islands.

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!

I adored this beach - the water was so clear and the sand so white, it was a real sight to behold. The water was pretty chilly, but hey, you can't have it all!
