Beaches of Pontevedra

Beaches of Pontevedra

It is clear that Galicia is an ideal destination for all those who want to enjoy the beach and at the same time flee from mass tourism. And, in addition to a gastronomy with its own stamp and a natural wealth that speaks for itself, the more than 1,500 kilometers of Galician coast are covered with urban beaches and other more intimate and recondite.

Today we are going to stop in one of its four provinces, that of Pontevedra, to make a tour of its most beautiful beaches.

Samil Beach

Next to the mouth of the river Lagares is our next destination: Samil beach,the most important in the city ​​of Vigo .

The natural landscape in which it is located is a more than enough reason to visit it, but if we add to the list the numerous services it has, they make this beach ideal even for those who do not like the sea: restaurants with popular gastronomy, museums that tell the tradition of the region, or even sports courts to maintain physical fitness.

A perfect beach for a round break.

Melide Beach

The beach of Melide , known by many as the beach of Cabo Home, had to have a place in this list.

Located in the municipality of Cangas de Morrazo , in front of the Cies Islands, its fine and white sand extends for about 250 meters long, behind which are located huge pines and eucalyptus trees under which to enjoy a pleasant siesta.

After the break, you can stroll to the lighthouse of Punta Robaleira or so of Punta Subrido , each located at one end.

Beach of a Fontina

We travel to the outskirts of Cambados to explore a protected wild-looking beach under the category of Natural Area : the beach of A Fontina.

Its translucent waters are mixed with the black color of its sand and the intense green of the nature that surrounds it, forming a unique contrast that you can not take your eyes off.

Beach of a Lanzada

Between the councils of O Grove and Sanxenxo is one of the most emblematic beaches of Galicia: the beach of A Lanzada.

Its long, white sand , which lasts for more than 2 kilometers, bathes with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, forming waves that ride surfers from around the world.

Framing this postcard environment, the beach is surrounded by lush vegetation and pointy rocks that go into the sea. Spectacular, it falls short.

Areas Beach

We continue in the municipality of Sanxenxo to visit the beach of Areas , one of the closest to the center of Pontevedra.

Its sandy area extends for almost a kilometer, from which you can enjoy incredible views of the estuary of Pontevedra.

Lovers of water activities , such as windsurfing or water skiing, find in its peaceful waters an ideal environment to have fun and get fit. Natural beauty and sport, could there be a better combination?

Rhodes Beach

We end our trip on a beach that needs no introduction: the beach of Rhodes , located in the magical Cies Islands . And is that this beach belonging to the municipality of Vigo, has been declared by the prestigious newspaper The Guardian as the most romantic in the world .

Its clean sand and the purity of its waters (although we warn you that they are quite cool), are wrapped in a wild nature creating a film landscape.
