Positive experience: The most beautiful spot you will find in Ferrol on the English Way. Ferrol is a city without charm, next to the sea that you cannot see because it is filled with army buildings and shipyards that block your way. You think you are going to see a coastal city, but in reality, you see a coastal city without a coast.

Fantastic experience: It's a great urban beach, so much that it has a blue flag, it has all the services, including lifeguard and accessibility features, with a platform and shade to rest, and a direct path to the water, even an amphibious chair for those who need it. Showers, restrooms, shaded areas, picnic spots... the water is clean and inviting for swimming. There is plenty of parking, with adapted spaces. It's a very good beach for going with children and when you don't have much time, it's ideal for a quick visit. It just lacks a beach bar or ice cream stand, although being an urban beach, there are bars around the area.

Fantastic experience: I liked it a lot because it has everything. The beach itself is nice, many people go there to sunbathe, few go into the water. It has a green area, wooden tables, it is a clean beach although there will always be someone who leaves something behind. Nearby, there is a small playground, and a place to exercise. It is full of trees. It is really beautiful for those who want to go directly to the sun, as well as for those looking for a bit of shade and just want to look at the horizon. Many people take their fur babies for a walk there in the afternoons, the only thing is that most leave them without a leash, but overall it is all calm and pleasant. It's a gorgeous place! They have fixed the wooden walkway, it turned out beautiful! Although they should fix the wooden tables and everything else, it is a gorgeous place that is also part of the English path; it should be in better condition, with public restrooms, etc. There is a small park near the beach, with its respective picnic area. They have fixed the tiles of the promenade.

Positive experience: The promenade is nice and the proximity to the city is great, but I don't think the sand and water are the best. It's fine for a quick visit, but there are thousands of better beaches nearby.

Fantastic experience: It is clean.. but plenty of dog dirt.. we had a nice experience especially since we are only visiting because we had a dry dock at Navantia. Restrooms: there were 2 restrooms when we visited because it was summer time.. not sure about other seasons. Dog admission: yes, many locals bringing dogs.

Fantastic experience: A semi-urban beach with a blue flag and crystal clear water. It is surrounded by a promenade with some benches for eating. The views are not beautiful and there are many rocks, but it is peaceful.

Positive experience: La playa de caranza me trae muchos recuerdos de adolescencia de ir con mi hija para que jugará con las amigas ,pero ha cambiado bastante deberían de allanar bien la arena en la playa de cerca ,poner duchas ,contenedores y un paseo de madera,tienen todo muy abandonado,y el paseo del mar igual estaría bien que pusieran algunos chiringuitos y puestos con cosas de playa ,para darle un poco de vida ,para que las personas que vivimos en caranza podamos disfrutar de lo que tenemos que todo cuidado y limpio con un mantenimiento esta guay, besos

Fantastic experience: Me encanta esta playa. Además es muy cómoda para los niños. Faltaría algún chiringuito para comprar bebidas helados y algún bocata. Transporte público: El autobús te deja en toda la playa.

Miguelangel López 4 years ago

Positive experience: Es una pena que no se le preste un poco más de atención a esta playa urbana, un poco descuidada y no siempre en buen estado. Es un arenal pequeño, perfecto para familias, con aparcamiento de sobra, fácil acceso incluso con sillitas. Un chiringuito, algo más de limpieza y servicios harían de Carranza una playa urbana espectacular. Aún así, muy recomendable para acercarse incluso andando.

Fantastic experience: Ideal for walking with or without a dog in winter and for going with children in summer due to the lack of waves. Restrooms: They are only available during the bathing season. Picnic area: 4 tables with benches, a trash can, and a fountain.

Negative experience: It's a tidal beach, for local people who don't have much free time and just want to take a dip, it's fine. But if you can travel, I wouldn't recommend it.

Positive experience: Nice and unknown city beach. Sheltered and with calm waters near the shore. Clean waters since the previous sanitation works in the city. Tables, showers, and lifeguard service. Shady area, and a field for those who do not want sand and sun. Surrounded by the path of the Camiño Inglés in its first kilometers to Santiago. What I would add is a buoy area for swimming limits, as when the tide goes down, the current in the estuary is more noticeable.

Positive experience: Beautiful urban beach, now with the treatment plant the water is safe, it has showers and is an alternative for locals who cannot travel to the good beaches of Ferrolterra, very calm and blue flag, it just needs the coast to provide sand and the town hall to get involved in its maintenance.
