Latest reviews on Vigo's beaches

Praia de Areamilla
8 Saral

A peaceful and spotless shoreline perfect for the whole family, with two beachside pubs to enjoy. No need to worry about noise or dirt - this beach is the perfect place for a family day out.

Montalvo beach
6 Caleb Fuentes

That place is anything but peaceful. It's packed with people, making it difficult to even find a spot to put your towel down. The noise and bustle of the crowd make it impossible to relax.

Praia de Francon
8 Esmeralda Vicente

This place was one of the finest we've ever seen in Galicia. We grabbed a bite to eat at the beach bar without reserving a table, but if you want to make sure you get a seat, it's best to book ahead.

Area Gorda beach
8 Juanita Lopez

Expansive and the sunsets are stunning. It's a great spot for surfers, with good waves, and for those who prefer to take a stroll, there's plenty of soft white sand. There are a few bars and some surf schools, but unfortunately, there are no showers available for rinsing off the salt after a swim. The parking lot is large and there are plenty of pathways to explore.

Canelinas beach
6 Hermann Kiefer

This lovely small beach behind Portonovo is easily accessible, making it a great choice for a day at the beach.
