Positive experience: Plage vierge pour la practique du surf. On sens bien le vent Atlantique. Parking à proximité. Plage surveille en été de 12 à 19h?.... Merci de demander aux secouristes sur la localisation spécifique de baines dans la plage pour protéger vos petits enfants.. Une plage pas trop fréquenté ! En plus, douches à la sortie !

Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach, when we went there was a lot of waves and a few surfers. You can spend hours contemplating the waves and the sound they produce. Very cool. We were surprised when we went towards the parking lot, as the tide was high, the path we took was flooded, and we had to get in to be able to pass.

Fantastic experience: Una playa brutal, enorme y la arena super fina, lo único malo el viento que es muy elevado y que debes caminar bastante de el aparcamiento a la playa y como vayas cargado te acuerdas bien de el camino.

Fantastic experience: Un auténtico espectáculo. Una playa que merece la pena conocer. Ambiente muy tranquilo, ideal para familias. Arenal de tamaño muy grande donde pueden convivir, sin molestarse, bañistas y surfistas/windsurfistas/etc. De aguas muy limpias. Con una característica muy particular, como consecuencia de su ubicación, el viento. Una lástima que el restaurante que está en el acceso a la playa haya restringido el paso a lo que durante muchos años fue una zona de aparcamiento para los usuarios de la playa. Sin duda el asunto que más polémica está generando alrededor de este magnífico arenal ferrolano.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy bonita en la comarca de Ferrol. Se puede ir en coche (hay aparcamiento gratuíto) o en bus. Arena fina y blanca. Muy extensa, para dar largos paseos. Tiene zona de dunas. En temporada dispone de socorrista y baños así como bares cerca. El problema es que es ventosa.

Fantastic experience: Muy bonita. Agua limpia y con socorristas y con duchas. Muy amplia para dar grandes paseos. El aparcamiento se llena, pero si bien hay bastante gente no está masificada....Hay zonas destinadas a surfear pero es tan grande que no hay problema con bañistas. Muy recomendable.

Ivan Santaya 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Playa ️ de arena blanca y fina, agua cristalina, mayormente familiar‍‍ aunque también hay juventud, veraneantes y surfistas (estos últimos mas hacia el medio del arenal por las olas o incluso en el otro extremo, ya considerado Esmelle) pero no tan masificada como otras playas de la zona. Tiene socorristas, aseos, duchas, bar (casa Claudina) y un amplísimo aparcamiento️ gratuito. Esta prohibido⛔ estacionar fuera del aparcamiento en la zona dunar, bajo pena de multa o incluso quedar atascado. Suele hacer bastante viento ️ especialmente en los meses de junio, julio. A finales de agosto y septiembre suele estar mas calmado y es la mejor época para disfrutar de esta playa en su plenitud. Es un claro ejemplo de playa característica playa gallega en donde el mar y la montaña⛰️ (hay un gran pinar y rutas de senderismo ) estan totalmente pegados.

Fantastic experience: La playa junto con la de Doniños es una preciosidad aunque las de Covas también son muy bonitas.Son playas con arena blanquita y fina, con duchas, baños y socorristas...San Jorge es muy extensa y tranquila con aguas más calmadas y el agua menos fría que en Doniños o Valdoviño aunque en el Atlántico es lo que tiene, quien quiera piscinas que se vaya a Alicante a cocerse...Lo peor que anque hay sitio para aparcar es escaso los fines de semana. Lo dicho,una playa paradisíaca a la que si vas a Ferrol no puedes faltar.

Fantastic experience: One more of the beautiful sandy beaches that surround the coast of Ferrol Terra. Unforgettable views, crystalline waters, fine sand, and a large dune area. Ideal for water sports. In summer, the wind makes it less pleasant than other beaches, and shade appears sooner due to its location. A picture is worth a thousand words..

Fantastic experience: San Jorge beach, in Ferrol, is a hidden ecological paradise. Clear and crystal-clear waters, in an area practically untouched by urban development. This beach is the perfect place to relax in nature, enjoy a swim in its clear waters, and sunbathe on the sand. Moreover, it is a short drive from Ferrol.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy bonita pero si quieres hacer kitesurf. Para bañarte imposible, hacia un viento muy fuerte

Javier Carrillo Jordán 3 years ago

Positive experience: Esta playa tiene el agua muy fría aunque entiendo su buena puntuación por las condiciones singulares en las que se encuentra. Vientos muy fuertes de 50 km/h y un entorno ideal para los kitesurfistas hacen una playa no recomendable para el baño, pero sí para algún paseo ocasional a través de sus 2 kilómetros de longitud.

Alex C.c. 6 years ago

Positive experience: De las mejores playas de Ferrol, el problema es que muchas veces es azotada por el viento, frecuentada por practicantes de kitesurf y windsurf OJO: En días de poco viento esta muy concurrida Cuenta con socorristas de junio a septiembre. Hay un bar-restaurante. Duchas y dos zonas de aparcamiento.

Fantastic experience: Buen sitio si te apetece disfrutar de la playa sin que esté masificada. Recomiendo andar un poco para alejarse de la parte principal, que es dónde la mayoría de la gente se coloca. El mar suele tener oleaje, por lo que hay que tener precaución a la hora de darte un chapuzón.
