Fantastic experience: Don't go to this beach... that way we will enjoy it while it's an excellent beach.... It's difficult or very difficult to park the car near the beach... The water tends to be a little COLD.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, especially at low tide, the water I would say is less cold than at other beaches up to Fisterra, it has free parking and a small beach bar next to the parking to grab something to drink.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, with access to the pools formed by the sea water that came in the day before. If you are lucky enough to go at low tide, the water is warm in July and August. But if you go at high tide, the sea water has cooled down drastically and we couldn't even put our feet in. The water was probably around 18 or 20 degrees on August 9, 2024, which is too cold for us since we are used to the Mediterranean with about 5 or 7 degrees warmer.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular place, close to the sea, but calm and clear like a river, with a beach bar included. Ideal for those who like to swim without waves and prefer flat stones over sand or both things. Good parking area.
Positive experience: Bonita playa a poca distancia de Ezaro, en la que desemboca un río, lo que genera un interesante contraste. Aparcamiento vigilado y gratuito. Dispone de duchas.

Negative experience: Beautiful place, a must-see if you're in the area, the turquoise water and white sand rival the Caribbean, but unfortunately, you can't be with dogs. This, which is quite common, I could understand for the sake of caring for the area, but that's not the case. The surroundings are filled with little white papers, the kind you use when you need to go to the bathroom... It's disgusting and tarnishes the beauty of the area. And I haven't seen any dog using those papers.
Fantastic experience: Impresionante. Tiene aparcamientos gratis que amablemente Zaira y Felipe te orientan para decirte si puedes o no hacer ciertas cosas. Algunos vehículos como caravanas no pueden porque tienen un lugar para ellos. Perros no se puede pero nosotros fuimos a la zona Boca do río y allí apartados y siempre con collar no nos dieron nada. Era un día de semana y había poca gente. El lugar es espectacular.
Fantastic experience: Playa inmensa, limpia y preciosa, con vistas al cabo Finisterre; evitad nadar en las zonas de corriente de salida de la laguna principal al bajar la marea, es peligroso, haced caso a las banderas, pero tened en cuenta que solo hay socorristas en verano, no dejen basura. Pertenece a la Red Natura y en las zonas de dunas anida en el suelo un pájaro cada vez más escaso en Galicia, el chorlitejo patinegro, por lo que no se puede acceder con perros (ved los carteles), pero la gente no hace ni caso.
Fantastic experience: Come dice il nome, la spiaggia della bocca del fiume, è una spiaggia dove il fiume si unisce al mare. È oasi ecologica e quindi protetta. Questo significa che è proibito cogliere fiori, conchiglie etc. È una spiaggia con interdizione ai cani durante diverse ore della giornata ed i giochi da spiaggia sono mal graditi sia dai bagnanti che dai guardiani. Questo è già, per me, un guadagno. A parte ciò la spiaggia si presenta particolare con i suoi due livelli d:acqua creati dal fiume e dal mare. È un posto dove prendere il sole nel silenzio e nella assoluta tranquillità. Sette km di spiaggia, poche persone e tutte alla ricerca di tranquillità. Un paradiso. Fornita di parcheggio gratuito manca di servizi igienici. Sconsigliata la domenica per maggiore affluenza.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with stones that contain petroglyphs and its estuary is lovely. The sunset from this point is very good.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, simply gorgeous, it truly is a natural park. The white sand, the clear transparent water reflecting the blue of the sky. When the tide comes in, it fills the entire vast expanse, and when the tide goes out, it leaves small ponds with little fish and crabs, and the kids fish and play without worries. All of this in the same day.

Fantastic experience: An exceptional and still preserved site. A lagoon with turquoise waters and white sand. The water is very cold, and that's a good thing, it's undoubtedly the best asset of this beach to remain wild.

Fantastic experience: Una de las playas más especiales que he visitado en Galicia. Aquí el mar y el río se unen en un espectáculo natural que cambia con cada marea. En bajamar, se forman charcas y piscinas naturales ideales para niños y para disfrutar de un baño tranquilo; en pleamar, la playa se convierte en un inmenso arenal abierto al Atlántico. La arena es fina y clara, el agua cristalina y el entorno está protegido por dunas y marismas que acogen una gran variedad de aves. Todo esto hace que Boca do Río no sea solo una playa para tomar el sol, sino un auténtico paraíso natural para pasear, observar fauna y relajarse lejos de las multitudes. Curiosidad: esta playa ha sido reconocida por publicaciones internacionales entre las más bonitas del mundo, gracias a su paisaje cambiante y su equilibrio entre mar, río y naturaleza salvaje. Algunos la llaman el “Caribe gallego” por el color del agua en días soleados y la calidez extra que aporta el río. Recomendaciones: no hay chiringuitos ni servicios en la arena, así que conviene llevar todo lo necesario. Es perfecta para familias, fotógrafos y amantes de los deportes acuáticos suaves. El acceso es sencillo y el aparcamiento cercano, pero merece la pena llegar con tiempo para disfrutarla en todo su esplendor.
Negative experience: La playa es una auténtico paraíso natural como muy pocas en España, nada nuevo que decir, mi puntuación va dirigida a los ineficientes y pésimos servicios públicos, que están muy lejos de la calidad de la playa. 1°. La carretera para acceder al aparcamiento está en muy mal estado, por no decir que pasan dos coches justos, y aún encima la vegetación cubre parte de ella, con todo el tráfico que hay en verano, debería tener un acceso mejor. 2°El parking podría estar asfaltado, teniendo en cuenta la gran cantidad de coches, para facilitar el acceso, hay playas en Galicia menos transitadas y con zona de parking asfaltado, aunque hay que decir que hay una persona organizando el aparcamiento. 3°. NO hay baños, ya se pueden imaginar donde termina la gente haciendo sus necesidades, con toda la basura que implica tirada en el suelo. 4°.Solo hay una ducha para toda esta zona de la playa. 5°. En Galicia a la gente nos gusta ir de merendero con nuestras empanadas y tortillas, con todo el espacio que hay se podría habilitar una zona, para ello. 6°La zona de las caravanas, aunque sólo la vi de lejos, me pareció que no estaba muy habilitado, ni con los servicios propios para caravanistas. Eso sí el ayuntamiento saca a licitación la gestión para un par de chiringuitos y recaudar, haber si invierten lo que recaudan.

Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa cerca de la de Carnota. Mucho sitio para aparcar entre los pinos. Tiene servicios, chiringuitos. La playa es preciosa y no es lineal. Puedes elegir la sombra de los árboles o acercarte a la arena. La recorre una pasarela de madera que va dando diferentes visiones del paisaje: una especie de lago, calas y mar.

Fantastic experience: A paradise location and well protected. Dream beach with fine sand, rocks, pines, the ocean, and overall quite calm for safe swimming.
Fantastic experience: Playa muy bonita. Socorristas ausentes, a día de hoy y fecha (17:00 de 02/08/23) estaban dentro de su habitáculo....
Fantastic experience: La mejor playa para ir con niños. Una única advertencia, cuidado cuando esté bajando la marea. Haced siempre caso a los socorristas.
Negative experience: Tiene las mesas muy juntas, no guarda la distancia de seguridad
Positive experience: La playa está dentro del arenal de Carnota, es muy grand y extensa hay que tener cuidado donde te colocas pues las mareas sube mucho ya loejor te tienes que cambiar de sitio, en septiembre no he visto socorristas, hay una ducha solamente servicios públicos no hay

Fantastic experience: De las más bonitas en las que he estado y muy divertida. Totalmente recomendable.
Fantastic experience: Con marea alta es muy divertida, te dejas llevar por las pequeñas corrientes que se forman. Con marea baja quedan pequeñas pozas donde remojarte. Paisaje muy bonito. Lo malo es encontrar donde aparcar ya que se llena cin facilidad
Fantastic experience: Praya Boca do Río. Platja espectacular i paradisíaca situada a un extrem de Praya do Carlota. Gran sorral on desemboca un petit rierol i el qual està situat en una badia, exposat a les pujades i baixades de marea, amb diversos serveis, així com aparcament per a cotxes i per a autocaravanes. Us recomano anar-hi al tard quan gairebé no hi queda ningú. Praya Boca do Río . Playa espectacular y paradisíaca situada en un extremo de Praya do Carlota.

I recommend going there late when there is hardly anyone left

Fantastic experience: Idyllic place. The Caribbean of Galicia!
Positive experience: Charming beach due to the lagoons that form during the rising and falling of the tides.
Fantastic experience: Incredible for kids. There are pools when the tide goes up and they are made of crystal clear water.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place
Fantastic experience: The beach itself is very small, but the mouths of the streams are perfect for families. You have to be careful when the tide goes down. Unbeatable natural environment, with not much tourism at the moment.

Fantastic experience: Preciosa
Fantastic experience: Genial! Sobre todo por las pozas o lagunas que se forman con la bajamar donde te puedes bañar agusto.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach! You have to be careful when the tide rises, but like in all the others. It has a parking area, spaces for disabled individuals, a wooden boardwalk, and several entrances. Great for going with or without children.
Fantastic experience: Natural architecture of dreams, 10/10 views
Fantastic experience: I'm not going to say it's the most impressive place I've seen in my life so that it doesn't go to Pete. But with this sentence, I say it all. I hope that if you visit this place, you take your trash, your cigarette butts, and respect this beautiful and incredible environment it is.
Fantastic experience: Incredible estuary area, with marshland, rocky area, and a section of the coastline that transforms every day.
Fantastic experience: Wonder of wonders, losing oneself in beautiful nature, surreal landscape, have respect and enjoy it to the fullest
Fantastic experience: A paradise location and well protected. Dream beach with fine sand, rocks, pines, the ocean, and overall quite calm for safe swimming.
Fantastic experience: ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and different beach that creates a lot of 'pools' where you can relax peacefully.
Positive experience: I can't speak about the swimming experience, although it seemed to me like a beautiful beach for taking photos at sunset by the rocks and the dunes it has.
Positive experience: Very interesting for going with children. There is a danger of currents at low tide. The only downside, and it is not the norm, is that some people do not know how to occupy their space without invading others' space.
Fantastic experience: You have to go, that's it. Always check the weather, as the summer there lasts only 4 days. Parking the car on weekends in August is a bit complicated, better to go by motorcycle.
Fantastic experience: Nice vibe and perfect place for families with kids.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, prestine beach,,good for caravans,,no bars or hotels on beach
Positive experience: Beautiful area with huge beach, rocks for privacy if wanted, plenty of parking and woodland walks. Low on facilities but bring your picnic and it's great.
