Fantastic experience: The beach is nice, at least now with few people. It has charm. What does not have charm anymore is that a group of people, one or two surfers among them, come with three dogs, and one of them poops and instead of picking it up, they cover it with sand. For those of us who have dogs and always pick up after them, these attitudes really bother us, as they justify those who call for dog bans on the beaches. It is even more bothersome that the uncivil behavior comes from people who use the beaches to practice sports, who should set an example.
Fantastic experience: Clean, pleasant. Note that dogs are not allowed during the summer season.

Fantastic experience: Huge, super soft sand, no shells and deep tide marks. A beautiful landscape adorned with natural sculptures majestically rising from the ocean. A very long walkway that takes you to the beginning of the beach, a place where dogs cannot incredibly enter. I would prohibit the entry of owners who do not clean up; this is the real ban.

Fantastic experience: Great beach, clean, both at low tide and high tide. Good parking services, showers, beach bars, surf school, etc.
Fantastic experience: We loved it. We coincided with low tide, so the beach was huge. Very beautiful, pleasant, and calm. The sand was very fine, with no stones. There were some sticks and branches at the entrance, and some seaweed in some spots on the beach, but it was very clean and overall very pleasant. Ideal for resting, walking, exercising, playing padel... It’s also great for taking pictures, there are some very prominent areas. Lots of surfers too. Parking is very close, and there are showers. In the area we were in (accessing from the viewpoint, leaving the car in the beach parking), there was no restroom, I don't know if there are any in the lifeguard area. We also didn't see any bars or anything in the area.

Fantastic experience: Very large beach, powerful and fun waves. For children, there are many small pools at low tide.
Fantastic experience: Huge and fun beach if you're looking for small waves for the kids to enjoy. It's also quite beautiful.
Positive experience: Bonita playa con varias zonas para aparcar, una pena que estas semanas por el oleaje hubiera tantas algas en la orilla y con ello muchas moscas. Aguas frías y con olas en la que divertirse con precaución. Zona para hacer surf y pádel surf. Socorristas hasta las 20 que están muy atentos.
Fantastic experience: Playa bastante buena para familias, pero hay que tener un poco de cuidado con la resaca del mar.....tiene fuerza. Buena arena y divertida si vas con niños por la desembocadura del arroyo Peñarronda para divertirse con los mas pequeños....agua de rio...fría. El aparcamiento puede ser complicado un día de mucha afluencia porque no tiene mucho sitio
Fantastic experience: Limpia, tanto la arena como el agua. Divertidos los deportes náuticos que allí puedes hacer. Una playa maravillosa, con ambiente pero no atestada de gente. Buenos servicios

Fantastic experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Marvel
Fantastic experience: I loved it!!!!
Negative experience: On this beach, I have seen human feces, and I'm not joking, it's LITERAL. On top of that, they have installed speakers that play the most tacky and vulgar music you can imagine. In summary... Hell on earth. Goodbye.
Positive experience: The beach and the area are nice, but the rules in the area leave much to be desired. Few things are not prohibited.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach and it is very crowded in the summer
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and spacious beach. Also very clean.
Positive experience: The surroundings are very neglected. The area has been increasingly neglected for a few years now, and they hardly mow it during the summer. Very poorly managed by those in charge.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach that is part of the best memories of my childhood and my life. I always carry it with me, and I return to it whenever I can. It is a clean beach, with white sands and a restless sea, sometimes even furious and agitated, but always beautiful and welcoming. The surroundings are green and very peaceful, and its people are the best of the best; I consider many of them family. The Parajes restaurant bar and the Vegamar campsite will be the perfect place to stay if you are planning not to just pass through. If you enjoy walking and love the sea, don't miss the chance to walk along the coastal path from the Parajes bar to Ribadeo and back. I assure you that you will return tired but happy.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Super beautiful quiet beach with a very nice family-run small campsite. Highly recommended!!! A trip to the nearby Playa de Catedrales is recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: It's great for surfing. And for taking a bath. It has a campsite with a restaurant.
Negative experience: Pretty beach but it is a shame that it is not cleaned. There’s a lot of seaweed and plastic rubbish washed up on shore. Toilets are not easy to reach and there should be more toilets as the beach is large.
Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful beach with golden sand and sea that just takes your breath away. We have stayed here twice now and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. There is a campsite just behind the beach, a car park at the back with a brilliant bar that does excellent tapas. A lovely stretch of coastline.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, for surf very cool blows wind, waves beautiful. There is a restaurant at the beach and parking where you can park your caravan.
