Beach overall scores
Playa de Esteiro (Lugo) is located outside the Cabo de Vila 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa de Esteiro with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"We had a great time visiting this beautiful surfer beach. We were really looking forward to seeing the moai that was said to be there, but unfortunately it wasn't there when we arrived. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable experience discovering this little corner. What's more, the beach is easily accessible, making it a great spot to visit."
Unknown user
"That place is really nice - the sand is golden and fine, and it's a great spot to relax. I didn't get to see the famous cargo ship that's supposedly wrecked there, but I'm sure it's an incredible sight when the tide is out."
