Praia dos Castros (Lugo) is located outside the A Rochela 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 Praia dos Castros 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

"Linda loves the beach - but let's be honest, who doesn't? The sand, the sun, the sound of the waves - it's a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, it's not all fun in the sun - the sand gets everywhere and the sun can be a bit too much. Still, a day at the beach is always a great way to relax."

Rafaela Rocha

"This location is an ideal spot to unwind and soak up some sun. It's expansive and breezy, making it the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery."
