Fantastic experience: Gorgeous beach. It's hard to find a parking spot and you have to go down a staircase and a path. The beach is small but it's really worth it. White sand and clear water.
Positive experience: Very beautiful beach and smoke-free. Parking nearby. Too bad it's very crowded.
Positive experience: It's a beautiful cove, clear water, space to park; the only downside is that it gets very crowded.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, one of the most beautiful in Galicia, with white sand and crystal clear water. At high tide, the beach is like you will see in the photo, 2 meters from the wall, but it has showers and a large parking area.
Fantastic experience: There is literally the whole street for parking, and to access the beach you go down some stairs. The wind hardly blows at all (especially when it is sunny), and it is very calm.

Fantastic experience: Magnífico. Exceto a proibição de animais de estimação. Se os cães servem para acompanhar, invisuais, andar nos escombros para salvamentos, e alguns para guardar as couves dos quintais porque não podem ir à praia com os seus donos. Deixem de hipocrisia... quando dizem não abandonem os animais.
Positive experience: Fuimos como visita obligada por recomendación y bueno aunque estaba el sol fuera hacia un viento frío que a 17 de julio no nos permitió bañarnos, había mucha mucha gente y bueno con eso de que tuvimos que dejar a los perros amarrados arriba porque no los permiten, estuvimos 4 minutos y nos fuimos, la cala es preciosa pero la masificaciom de gente y el frío me dejó un sabor agridulce.
Negative experience: La playa preciosa, de las mejores playas en las que he estado nunca, muy apartada y en medio de la naturaleza. A pesar de esto tengo que ponerle una estrella, porque como no, una vez más que en una playa en la naturaleza se le priva el acceso a los perros durante la mayor parte del verano, sin embargo la basura que se encuentra de camino tiene que ver con restos humanos y no animales ❌

Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa de arena blanca y fina, en un enclave impresionante. Un lugar espectacular para recrearse con un paseo y un buen baño. Tiene un muy buen chiringuito.
Positive experience: Playa pequeña. Muy tranquila. Facil baño y arena fina. No hay ni chiringuitos ni aseos ni socorrista. Hay una ducha
Negative experience: La playa es espectacular, aguas cristalinas, arena fina blanca y recogida ante el viento y las mareas. El problema? Que los sitios escondidos tendrían que seguir escondidos, que lleve un mínimo esfuerzo descubrirlo para que no se llene de gente con altavoces, niños con hinchables y, en general, para que no destrocen una playa como esta. Un par de artículos en la Voz de Galicia y la playa se ha convertido en ruidosa, el agua medio turbia de la gente y cremas y el arenal impracticable. Hay 20 playas al lado grandes, con chiringuito y dónde hacer el canelo, no vengas a molestar a una cala
Fantastic experience: Chamam de "O Caribe galego". A cor da água não nega o apelido. Já a temperatura da água... padrão normal das praias galegas. Mas o lugar é lindo! Praia calma, frequentadores com o mesmo perfil. A faixa de areia é pequena, então o ideal é chegar cedo. Não há estrutura de restaurantes ou cafés. Tem que levar seu farnel! E atenção a tábua de mares, para que não fique sem espaço na areia.
Fantastic experience: Un pequeño sueño de calita. Preciosa y en un enclave natural estupendo. Se le conoce como "El caribe gallego". Está situada en la ría de O Vicedo y está muy escondida. Tiene una arena muy muy fina y blanca y muy pegajosa sl cuerpo.No dispone de aparcamiento, y se sccede por un sendero que lleva finalmente a las escaleras de acceso a la playa. Al ser una pequeña calita sólo dispone de un par de duchas. Son los unicos servicios que tiene, no hay chiringuitos ni aseos. En una ladera de la cala están los restos de un edificio de piedra, que era una fábrica de porcelana, de ahí el nombre de la misma. El mar es tranquilo, sin olas y muy limpia.

Positive experience: Playa pequeña. Muy tranquila. Facil baño y arena fina. No hay ni chiringuitos ni aseos ni socorrista. Hay una ducha
Fantastic experience: ENCANTADORA playa de O Vicedo próxima al pueblo. Parece caribeña por su fina y blanca arena y agua cristalina con peces y ostras, como la similar e inmediata de Vidreiro. Bajo el muro de mampostería de piedra de una antigua industria de salazones y de exuberante vegetación. Con los montes de Bares (Mañón, A Coruña), al otro lado de la atractiva ría de O Barqueiro. Con marea baja triplica su pequeño tamaño, a pesar de su gran pendiente. La dificultad de hallar los accesos y aparcamientos se compensa volviendo otros días. Con duchas, carece de socorristas y aseos, que podrían realizarse a compartir con los senderistas de la inmediata ruta y pista a Xilloy, entre pinos, eucaliptos, laureles, helechos,... Julio 2021.- La calidad de "Caolín" ha empeorado por dos circunstancias de origen natural: -- El arroyo que vierte a su través baja crecido y le han habilitado un cauce sinuoso que divide la playa. Tal vez convenga darle una salida directa desde donde fluye, por lo más lateral posible, junto a los peldaños de acceso a la arena -- La preciosa arena tiene muchos restos de la vegetación de los árboles y matorrales que circundan la playa. Hay que considerar los medios para retirar la mayor parte de tales restos de las playas del Concello.
Positive experience: Playa muy tranquila y un poco apartada. El camino es estrecho pero bueno. Hay un pequeño aparcamiento de hierba y luego la posibilidad de ir por un camino de monte o por unas escaleras de piedra.Cualquiera de las dos opciones son buenas, la que arranca desde el aparcamiento es el camino de monte, donde de ve un pequeño faro también. Hay duchas No hay socorristas El día que fuimos estaba nublado por lo tanto no había gente y era maravillosa. Arena fina y limpia y las vistas inmejorables.
Positive experience: Playa pequeña con agua cristalina y tranquila. Una pasada. El único pero, por ponerle algo, es que no tiene socorrista.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy bonita, llevo llendo a esta zona a surfear toda la vida, la recomiendo. OJO, NO ES NUDISTA aunque lo digan en internet, la que es nudista es la playa de enfrente, bilela.

Fantastic experience: Pequeña cala muy bonita, la arena es muy fina y blanca. Esta bien la cala, tiene algas y bueno el agua es un poco cristalina. Para hacer snorkel no lo recomendaria mucho, ya que hay una visibilidad un poco reducida. Para acceder hay un pequeño camino y tiene parking.
Negative experience: Playa pequeña y apartada, con agua cristalina y poca corriente. Antes era un lugar tranquilo en el que había poca gente, perfecta para hacer snorkel, ver peces… pero ya no lo es… ahora no tienes ni sitio para poner la toalla, lleno de niños gritando y tirándote arena a la toalla porque no hay sitio, el agua turbia de todo, mucha suciedad… en fin ha perdido todo el encanto.
Positive experience: Genial para hacer snorkel, con maravillosas praderas de posidonia atlántica y mar en calma gracias a la estaca de Bares que hace de barrera. La playa es muy pequeña y está muy concurrida; supongo que los locales no se alegran precisamente de ello pero hoy por hoy es lo que hay.

Fantastic experience: Fuimos a la cala en kayak remando desde el río sor. La playa tiene varias cuevas al lado que se pueden visitar a pie con la marea baja y alguna se puede entrar con el kayak. La arena es blanca y las aguas son bastante cristalinas. Muy recomendable

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Very white sand and crystal clear waters with mother-of-pearl glitter floating in the water. Magical.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach, it seems like the Caribbean, it's very small but very nice, we only went to see it during this season and there was parking before reaching it, but I imagine that in summer the parking issue must be a problem.
Fantastic experience: A very nice cove, and without people, if it's out of season.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with fine white sand. Crystal clear water. The access is via a cobbled and sloped path, which now in autumn, with the leaves on the ground and the humidity, is quite slippery.
Fantastic experience: It is a paradise, undoubtedly one of my favorite beaches in Spain, it is beautiful, the water is perfectly clear, with no waves and very calm, the water is quite cold but in August one can perfectly swim starting at 12:00 PM, for me it was perfect, it is cold but I personally was able to tolerate it without problems, the beach has a very beautiful cave for taking photos, there is parking near the beach but there is nothing nearby to buy, neither drinks nor food, one must go prepared because the closest is 500 - 700 meters away.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, crystal clear turquoise waters.
Fantastic experience: It's a small beach like in the Caribbean, with very fine sand and clean, transparent turquoise water. The downside is that if it gets crowded, it's very small. It has a shower, parking 100 meters away. It doesn't have a bathroom. The love of my life is you, CAOLÍN.
