Beach overall scores
Praia A Xurela (A Coruña) is located outside the A Insua settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Praia A Xurela, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This beach in Galicia is simply stunning! It's easily accessible, just park at the end of a track and take a short walk through the forest to get there. It's best to visit at low tide, but be aware that the tide can quickly cover up to 90% of the beach. The views are simply breathtaking!"
Johnathan Auchincloss
"This small beach may be hard to access, but its seclusion makes it worth the effort. The waters are crystal clear and perfect for anchoring a boat, allowing you to get up close and personal with the sand. Plus, it has a Virgin beach with no amenities, so you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature."
