Compact, yet situated in a pleasant setting.

This beach is conveniently located near the city, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. You can choose to relax on sunloungers or under umbrellas, available for rent at the beach bar, or simply lay your towel down and soak up the sun. The sand and water are impeccably clean, ensuring a refreshing and enjoyable experience.

Caxinas beach

10 Lars Johansson

This stunning beach is perfect for families with young kids, as the waters are incredibly tranquil. There's a beach cafe nearby with restrooms and snacks, and a lifeguard is always on duty. Plus, you can park right at the beach!

Praia de Area Grande

8 Mariana Lopez

This small sandstone beach is a great spot to relax and take in the beauty of the waves crashing against the rocks - which is the route of the Camino de Santiago. It's easy to access and the perfect spot for caravanists and van drivers to spend the night. On the way to town, there are picnic areas with stone tables and a park, though the swings were both broken. Nonetheless, it's a great spot to relax and take in the views.

The warmest month during the year in this area is July, with the air temperature rising up to 23.1°C and the water temperature up to 17.4°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 12.6°C and the water temperature down to 13.4°C.
