Beach overall scores
Cathedrals Beach (Lugo) is located outside the A Devesa 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 Cathedrals Beach 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.

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
"This location is definitely worth a stop. Make sure to check the tides before you go, otherwise you won't be able to see the natural cathedrals. Access is easy and convenient, and during peak season (April to September) it is advised to book in advance as the number of visitors is limited."
Aidan Abreu
"That place is an absolute must-visit! It's a national monument and the views are amazing. However, it is important to note that reservations are necessary during July and August, and possibly other times as well. Additionally, its accessibility is easy, so don't forget to plan your visit two hours before low tide to make sure you can see it all!"
