Fantastic experience: About 400 meter walk from the parking to the beach. Good picnic spot
Fantastic experience: Impressive wild beach with a huge pine forest and dunes. Easy access and splendid views. A gem next to Ortigueira.
Fantastic experience: After crossing a beautiful pine forest, with paths and walkways that invite rest and a picnic..., you arrive at the dunes that lead to this long beach of 3.5 km that resembles a lagoon. When the tide goes out, an almost magical phenomenon, you can walk to San Vicente Island. A beach frequented by surfers with beautiful views of the estuaries of Ortigueira and Ladrido.
Positive experience: Coming from the south, the least charming beach but still of the highest standard. Huge and to access it you walk through a real equipped forest. Fantastic location. A characteristic feature is the double chromaticity of the sand, almost black at the edges, almost white near the water. Presence of shells on the shore.
Positive experience: Huge beach with very fine sand and all the services like in a campsite. I say this because they have places to wash dishes and showers for everyone. We traveled in a multivan and there's a large parking area.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful wide beach located near Ortigueira
Fantastic experience: Be lli si ma! Me ha encantado! Es que lo tiene todo! Es muy bonito, tiene pinos preciosos, huele riquísimo! Tiene árboles de laurel. Es un sitio muy limpio, hay botes de basura por todos lados, así que mo hay pretexto alguno para dejarla tirada. Tiene WC, baños, aseos, etc. Tiene regaderas también. Hay mesas de madera para comer ahí, es un sitio ideal para ir de Pic nic, es un sitio para ir con amigos, familia, mascotas, etc. La playa es hermosa, tiene arena negra y blanca, hay caminos a parte del principal, para disfrutaf mientras llegas a ella. El agua es agradable, es decir, no es excesivamente fría. Es una playa bastante tranquila, ideal para tomar el sol. Hay pocas olas, y sobretodo no es tan abierta como otras, sino que es agradable estar ahí sin sentir que te lleva el viento. Es muy tranquilo todo ahí. La arena es muy finita y suave! Es ideal para ir cualquier día del año, ya que sea la estación que sea, tiene un encanto único. Es un sitio gratuito y familiar. Les recomiendo visitarlo!
Fantastic experience: Playa grande en un entorno espectacular, un arenal de gran tamaño para pasear o darse un baño, con una zona de pinar antes de entrar perfecta para pasar el día con numerosas mesas y un chiringuito, hay duchas pero la playa no tiene socorrista , lo mejor que es una playa en la que apenas viene gente y es compatible el paseo de los perros en la misma ..(aunque en teoría está prohibido, la realidad es que es ideal para ir con perros )
Fantastic experience: Rodeando a la laguna de San Martiño, la playa se vuelve preciosa mires para donde mires. Quizá para darse un chapuzón hay opciones mejores, pero el entorno no tiene comparación con las playas del sur de Galicia. Para dar un paseo con tus mascotas es perfecto, desde la playa hasta la pasarela de toda la laguna.
Fantastic experience: Bonita playa!!! Arena oscura y un poco incómoda de andar ya que se hunde demasiado la arena

Fantastic experience: Playa enorme en la que para llegar hay que atravesar un pinar y unas dunas. Tiene mucha arena hasta el agua y en marea baja se multiplica su tamaño por 4. Agua limpia, cristalina y con muchos peces.
Fantastic experience: Es espectacular!!! Arenal muy grande con una isla en medio que se puede llegar cuando baja la marea y hace que cuando sube puedas bañarte en un entorno maravilloso. Hay duchas y un bosque detrás por si se quiere sombra
Fantastic experience: A pesar de ser invierno y estar inundadas muchas zonas del pinar, se puede apreciar la belleza de este pinar y sus dunas. Hay que darse un paseo para llegar al mar, pero la zona de arena es inmensa. Perfecta para ir en familia y pasar allí todo el día ( siempre que no sea el festival celta, claro)

Fantastic experience: Extensive beach, with space for picnicking and two beach bars, although they are away from the beach.
Fantastic experience: la playa es espectacular…ideal para una buena caminata…se accede por unos pinares con mesas…tiene baños muy limpios y con papel higiénico solo que están llenos de pintadas y pegatinas …hay un restaurante y sitio para caravanas

Fantastic experience: Una playa excelente para desconectar de verdad. Si se tiene la suerte de coincidir marea baja, cruzar a la Isla de San Vicente a pie es una experiencia muy agradable. Naturaleza pura. Una visita al restaurante de comida casera que queda a metros del pinar, A CABANA DO FOS,para tomar un café (chocolate caliente en invierno) o disfrutar de la buena mesa. La pluma, berberechos y almejas, mis preferidos
Fantastic experience: Limpia , gran acceso para coches y caravanas , restaurante excelente Fos . Hay q estar en ella .

Fantastic experience: Playa semi salvage con los servicios basicos bien resueltos pero sin socorrista Paisaje impresionante, aguas tranquilas y ambiente muy tranquilo
Positive experience: Longitud: 2100 m. Peculiar arena gris oscuro-negruzca. Ventosa y con oleaje moderado...La arena no es lo mejor de la playa pero es tranquila...en días ventosos puedes protegerte en las dunas... tiene uno de los sistemas dunares de mayor extensión de Galicia. Con marea baja puedes acceder a la isla de San Vicente, en la parte oriental. Dispone de aseos, duchas, aparcamiento público, servicio de socorristas, acceso para minusválidos...y un restaurante cerca. Amplio pinar con mesas/sillas de madera/piedra y alguna barbacoa. Puedes llegar andando por un bonito paseo desde Ortigueira (2 km) o en coche. Además de la playa, podemos disfrutar de rutas de senderismo desde este arenal hasta el espacio natural de las rías de Ortigueira y Ladrido.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in Spain and undoubtedly one of the least known. It could be in Cádiz or the Basque Country and it appears in all possible guides.

A characteristic feature is the double chromaticity of the sand, almost black at the edges, almost white near the water. Presence of shells on the shore.
Fantastic experience: A very clean beach with crystal clear waters, spacious and quiet with an area of pine trees and tables where you can have a snack or rest, with the beginning of a route that takes us to the village, about 5 km. Highly recommended, especially with children, due to the tranquility of its waters.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent black sand beach. When the tide goes out, there is a finger of water creating the so-called mirror effect!
