Fantastic experience: Plenty of parking. There are a lot of options for food and other services. Beach is always clean.

Positive experience: Large beach, soft sand, free parking lots with many free spaces. Nearby along the beach there are free swimming pools for children under 12 years old and picnic zone. A good place to relax.

Positive experience: Perfect beach with all services, and behind the promenade that runs along the beach, you can find restaurants where you can sit and enjoy beautiful views or simply relax. There is ample parking in various areas of the beach, and it also has children's pools and a skating rink.

Fantastic experience: Clean beach with very good access

Fantastic experience: Are you from Ourense and haven't seen your neighbor in the summer for a while? He’s probably here; stop by to greet him while you finish with second-degree burns because you refused to apply sunscreen again since 'the sky is cloudy.' The parking lot also has attendants, like in the civilized world, so bring some extra euros or park 4km away from the beach.

Fantastic experience: Es una preciosa playa urbana, la más conocida y más larga de Vigo, tiene de todo tanto equipamiento como comodidad, hay duchas, lavapies, zonas verdes, vigilantes y salvamento, tiene un gran paseo pegado a la playa, piscinas públicas y jardínes infantiles y de adultos, hay también merendero, cancha de baloncesto, pista de patinaje, servicio para el baño en el mar de personas con discapacidad, ramplas, etc. Tiene de todo y en sus cercanías hay muchos más servicios interesantes. Lo único malo que le veo es que suele estar muy llena de gente, sobre todo el fin de semana.

Fantastic experience: Marabilla pero hai que asfaltar os aparcamentos e estaría ben acotar ou vallar unha zona canina ou unha das zonas verdes preparala para cans. Deseando ver o novo paseo rematado ☺️

Positive experience: Beach with services and beach bars but it gets really crowded, the good thing is that at the end, crossing the river, there is a great dog beach.

Fantastic experience: Praia de Samil is a vibrant and lively beach, perfect for families and those looking for a mix of relaxation and fun. Located near Vigo, it’s one of the most popular beaches in Galicia, and for good reason. The long stretch of soft, golden sand is ideal for sunbathing, and the calm waters are great for swimming.

Its beautiful promenade has several pools for the little ones and for the adults, good shade under the pines with grass, tables, and benches to eat or play a game.

Negative experience: I have been coming to this beach my whole life, after some time I returned and found everything full of garbage. When they finished picking it up, they left the bags piled up next to the tables; we couldn’t sit down to eat there, the seagulls spreading the trash. They removed the showers that were along the beach, and the pools for children cannot be accessed until noon, and the lifeguard excuses not being present because he doesn't watch the pool, a child could drown without anyone noticing.
