Positive experience: good waves, friendly surfers, unrestricted parking. Almost a perfect spot but there is so much plastic on this beach, more than I have ever seen in Spanish beaches. Here's how much you can collect on a single walk. Everyone can make a change by collecting some of it
Fantastic experience: It was a shame to arrive so late at this incredible fine sand beach, with quite a swell ideal for surfing enthusiasts. It also has parking.
Fantastic experience: The white sand beach is ideal for surfing due to its wind-swayed waves. It's a delight to walk on its sand and feel the sea scent that permeates the entire place. It's very peaceful for walking, and there is a protected area around. It's a pleasure to sit and watch the colors of the water, crystal clear and different shades of blue and green, dunes, people enjoying the surf, and listening to the wind. This area of Galicia has a beautiful contrast of mountains and beach, gastronomy that delights you, nature that invites you to forget everything, breathe, and admire the beauty of our planet. Easily accessible and with parking, but the ideal is to take a walk to get there, either through the Valdoviño lagoon or enter through the village and access the beach, walking until it ends, from where you can see the Punta Frouxeira lighthouse.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular fine sand beach, it is worth it. Good places to park cars, vans, campers, and motorhomes.
Fantastic experience: The best beach in the world!! Well, maybe it isn't, but for me it is. It has spectacular golden and fine sand, and good waves that make it ideal for surfers. In fact, there is a surf school next to the Red Cross station where you can sign up for a course to learn or improve your skills in this wonderful sport. At the end of August, the Pantin Classic, an international surfing championship worth seeing, usually takes place. Additionally, there is a small kiosk in the round area where you can grab a drink, alongside swings and wooden tables, and at Ariño Las Olas by Pantin, where you will be served excellent food, a unique service, and it also has rooms for accommodation. It has two beaches, the big one and the small one (Porto Carrizo) as we call it, which you can access when the tide is low by walking; otherwise, you have to climb over the rocks, but I assure you it's worth it. There you are more protected from the wind and the tide is calmer... it feels like a small cove. Watch out for the currents!!! Nearby, there are other wonderful beaches like Frouxeira in Valdoviño, O Baleo, or Villarrube.

Fantastic experience: Mooi strand. Geweldig uitzicht met camper. Fijne dagen gehad met de honden ook op strand. Graag meer van dit soort camperplaatsen
Fantastic experience: Buena playa para hacer surf, es ideal si tienes furgo, camper o autocaravana. Existen muchas escuelas para alquilar material o tener clases y varios chiringuitos. No se permiten perros en el lado izquierdo de la playa, Pero en el derecho si se puede entrar con perros aunque desconozco si existe una ley que lo prohíba. En el inicio de la playa tienes baños públicos accesibles todo el día.
Positive experience: Playa inmensa y preciosa, en la parte de la izquierda hay que atravesar un rio para llegar, esa curiosidad la hace aún más encantadora. Buenas olas! Y mucho aparcamiento. Me da pena que no haya ni una pequeña parte donde se permitan perros
Positive experience: Son muy pesados con los perros...aunque estés al borde del campito y no molestes a nadie

Fantastic experience: Perfect beach for camping. Has everything needed, showers, toilets a nice restaurant, surf shops etc. Also the pictures speak for themselves
Positive experience: Fácil aparcamiento en Febrero con vistas espectaculares a la playa. Servicios y chiringuito cerrados.
Fantastic experience: Pantin beach. Home of the World Qualifying Tour Surf contest is considered one of the most consistent and playful waves in Spain. It has different peaks along the bay and a mythical Righthand point. It doesn't need big swells to work and it is often said that if there are no waves in Pantín, there are no waves in Galicia at all. Pantin has also some Surf schools and only two Restaurants to grab some food after-before surfing. The people are friendly and there are a lot of Motorhomes from travellers all around the world.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in the world. A great spot for surfing (2 rental and school centers available), but also a great place to simply enjoy the beauty of the ocean.

Fantastic experience: Beach for camping...and surfing. Lots of space and clean.
Fantastic experience: The campers are annoying because they urinate and defecate everywhere. The parking lots are full of tissues to clean themselves.

Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa a mar abierto, con mucho oleaje y peligrosa "resaca". Para surfear perfecta. Muy chula la experiencia de bañarse en la desembocadura del rio, agua dulce y con unos grados mas q se agradecen tras el baño en el frío atlántico. Se aparca bien en diversas parcelas limpias que estan a disposición.
Negative experience: La playa es de cinco estrellas, pero la reseña es específicamente por dos tipos locales que se cargaron el buen ambiente en el agua la semana pasada. Era un día laboral sobre las 20:30h y estábamos unas 10 personas en el pico (todos de fuera). Había muy poco mar, pero nos divertíamos con lo poco que había, en un equilibrio natural donde los mejores surfistas cogen las mejores olas. Sobre las 21h entraron estos dos locales con los tablones directamente a la posición más avanzada del pico. Cuando llegaron las primeras olas, sin miramientos hacia los que estaban esperando antes de que ellos entraran, se lanzaron a coger sendas olas y cada uno tuvo una bronca con otro surfista. A partir de ese momento el ambiente se tensionó. Para mayor falta de respeto, uno de ellos le saltó dos olas al mismo surfista al que le había echado la bronca por ese mismo motivo. Pobre representación de tan bonita playa.
Fantastic experience: Espectacular agua cristalina con olas divertidas y arena fina!! Difícil para aparcar.
Positive experience: Una de las playas más atractivas para los surfistas. En ella se celebran diversas competiciones de ese deporte, algunas de ámbito internacional, como el campeonato mundial anual conocido como Pantin Clasic.
