Positive experience: A nice beach. The downside is that it is not accessible for people with reduced mobility, at least the area where I enter, there are stairs. There are three restaurants by the beach which is very convenient. It's a family beach.
Fantastic experience: Areas Beach: A Tranquil Refuge in Sanxenxo ️ A Spacious and Serene Beach: Areas Beach, located near Sanxenxo, is a hidden gem that offers a perfect setting for those seeking tranquility. Its fine, soft sand stretches along a wide coastline, ideal for enjoying the sun and the sea in a relaxed atmosphere. Fun for Everyone: Areas has a pedal boat area for those who want to explore the sea in a fun way. Additionally, there is a small river that flows into the beach, creating a safe place for little ones to play without danger. For adventurers, the rocky area is perfect for exploring and looking for crabs, adding a touch of adventure to the beach day. Calm Waters for Paddle Surfing: The calm waters of Areas are perfect for practicing paddle surfing and other water sports, making it an ideal destination for both beginners and experts. Access and Parking: Although the beach is beautiful, access can be a bit tricky. The road leading to the beach is narrow and ends right at the shore, which limits parking options. There is a small parking area, but it is hard to find a spot, especially on busy days. Parking on the sides of the road is possible, but care must be taken to avoid fines. ⚽ Ample Spaces for Sports: Despite its tranquility, Areas Beach offers ample areas where sports can be practiced without disturbing other bathers, making it an ideal place to enjoy an active day. Spectacular Sunsets: You can't miss the stunning sunsets at Areas. At the end of the day, the sky is painted in warm colors, offering a natural spectacle that is the perfect way to close a day at this beautiful beach. Areas is a beautiful and serene beach, perfect for families and those looking for a tranquil beach day with a touch of adventure, crowned by an unforgettable sunset.
Fantastic experience: It is a beautiful beach. It has umbrellas and sun loungers for rent. Watching the sunset from the rocks is super nice. I went to see the sunset and took a book with me. A super rewarding experience. You can park in the area, there is both free and paid parking. And yes, if, like in my case, you have elderly people with you who cannot sit on the sand, there are benches right next to the beach (on the promenade where the cars are parked) for them to sit.
Positive experience: Very crowded beach, in summer there are two parking lots next to the beach.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach 4 minutes by car from Sanxenxo, but enough to get away from the noise of Sulgar. Spacious and with beautiful views. Parking until midnight for €3 in cash, essential for spending the day.

Fantastic experience: Areas Beach is located at the exit of Sanxenxo towards Pontevedra, and protected from the northern winds. It is a straight and semi-curved beach at one end, set in an urban environment with low population density. It has fine white sand. Sheltered from the winds, with calm waters suitable for water sports: water skiing, sailing, jet skiing, windsurfing (with a beach limit of 200 meters).
Fantastic experience: Great beach with fine white sand that doesn't burn, clean water, and a very pleasant atmosphere

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful and very calm beach with a great beach bar.
Fantastic experience: The beach of Areas, despite being July and in a very touristy area, was not overcrowded. It is a long beach with that natural touch that I like, without concrete walkways but trees instead. The water was clean and wonderful. There are restaurants nearby where you can use the bathrooms, buy drinks to take to the beach, or enjoy having a drink or a meal at the restaurants. I recommend the restaurant A postiña as I was there, and the food, service, and terrace with unbeatable views were excellent. It has an atmosphere for all ages. Families, groups of young people, and older ones, as it is easily accessible and, as I said, there are services.

Fantastic experience: Bonita playa con agua cristalina y con todos los servicios necesarios bien integrados en el entorno. Ideal para hacer snorkel y ver la cantidad de peces que tiene. Cuenta con socorrista, aparcamiento y wc. Pocas olas al estar dentro de la ría por lo que es ideal para ir con niños o personas mayores que no tienen mucha confianza con el mar...
