Positive experience: Playa de piedras. Agua fría. Hay accesos con duchas, accesible PMR, cuenta con vigilantes y papelera.
Fantastic experience: ♿ Playa accesible con pasarelas de madera, socorristas con silla anfibia en el puesto. El acceso más corto es a través del parque de Compostela, donde hay cafetería y baños accesibles bastante descuidados. Todo a lo largo de la playa hay un paseo pavimentado perfecto para las sillas y los carritos. Playa muy segura para ir con niños con espacios amplios y varios parques infantiles.
Positive experience: El paseo es muy bonito para acercarse al atardecer pero la playa y su arena rocosa no es muy agradable, hay playas mucho más bonitas y para pasar el día cerca.

Fantastic experience: Excelente sitio para pasear con perros cuando no es tiempo de baño
Positive experience: En otro tiempo,fué la estrella de la "corona",de Vilagarcía de Arousa ! Primero,fué la "regeneración" mal entendida;con arena de poca calidad y tierra de desmonte;ahora,solo es apta para perros y marisqueo.Yo,que la conozco bien,no le recomendaría bañarse en ella,a un amigo o familiar... por lo que he visto "in situ"

Negative experience: Unhealthy coexistence of electric scooters, bicycles, and people walking. Sometimes it becomes dangerous due to the speed they are going. It needs reorganization and supervision (you never see a police officer). They should respect the beach as a natural element and not hold festivals or events in the sand area. There is a lack of humanization, swings, sports/calisthenics areas, etc.
Positive experience: The beach itself is not great, the sand is a bit narrow at high tide, the water is not entirely clean, and there are teenage girls in thongs, with their bottoms covered in pimples, heating things up for everyone. There is a pleasant walk to Carril, and it is next to the center. The typical urban beach. Now that I'm going to spend my summer there, the cache will go up.
Positive experience: The sand was very bad, with remnants of clams and cockles, but everything else was fine.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach to enjoy in tranquility, the water is warm, not too cold and not too hot. Great for a relaxing day. Detail: the sand has shells.
Negative experience: Beach with coarse dirt, that doesn't know sand. Impossible to walk barefoot without getting its pebbles stuck in the soles of your feet.

Negative experience: Playa fea como un pie izquierdo. Al fondo tienes palos de los viveros de ostras y a la izquierda tienes el puerto con sonido de fondo de contenedores chocándose. Tiene algas para dar y tomar y el fondo del agua es fango + algas + conchas. El agua no está muy clara y hay algunas basuras tiradas en la orilla. Tienes que caminar con cangrejeras si no quieres desgarrarte las plantas de los pies. Lo bueno es que no hay mucha gente y la arena está limpia. Hay socorristas y puesto de salvamento.

Fantastic experience: El lugar perfecto para pasear a tu perro durante ocho meses al año. Impresionantes atardeceres y aguas tranquilas. Malo para los surfistas, no hay ninguna ola.
Fantastic experience: Playa muy tranquila y limpia un poco difícil caminar por las conchas pero igual vale la pena ideal para relajarse!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful as always,.....even if it rains and it's cold

Negative experience: Beach with coarse dirt, that doesn't know sand. Impossible to walk barefoot without getting its pebbles stuck in the soles of your feet.
Negative experience: Ugly beach, uncomfortable and not pleasant for walking. Only the small promenade that borders it is advisable.
Positive experience: With all the services and one of the few places where you can see shellfish nurseries on the beach (at low tide). Wear flip-flops, we have an invasion of a plant that releases some pretty nasty thorns with the feet, but the sunset is worth a couple of scares.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful.
Fantastic experience: Little ones enjoying the Galician beaches like their owner
Fantastic experience: Very cool
