Fantastic experience: There is a really cool beach bar, parking, free bathroom, and a spectacular wild sea.
Fantastic experience: Still nestled in the Ría de Muros e Noia, in the Concello de Porto do Son, as soon as you arrive you feel the power of the Atlantic Ocean on a wild beach. With prevailing winds from the Nordés, it is a good beach for water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, bodyboarding, or surfing. To the right on the rocks is the area that names the beach As Furnas, whimsical shapes that the sea carved in the rock. In the parking lot, there is the restaurant where sequences of the series Fariña were filmed. And a bust in honor of Ramón Sampedro.
Fantastic experience: For me, one of the best beaches in Galicia without a doubt. With a lot of free parking. Only in the summer season is it difficult to park.
Fantastic experience: Amazing to visit and take a stroll along. We fell in love with its colors. We ate at one of the beach snack bars and it was great, I think it was the second to last one on the left from the parking lot, the chicken wraps were delicious.
Fantastic experience: Ideal beach for beginners in surfing, moderate waves, plenty of parking, a long wooden walkway for those who enjoy walking.

Fantastic experience: De las únicas playas que encontramos que no prohibían perros ni campers en el parking. Además es de fácil acceso ya que no hay escaleras ni largos caminos para entrar en ella. Pernoctamos en el parking con la camper en pleno mes de octubre. Había alguna caravana y camper más y estaba todo muy tranquilo. Ni un ruido. Hasta las 11:30h de la mañana estuvimos prácticamente solos en la playa, y a partir de esa hora comenzaron a llegar escuelas de surf. Sin embargo, la playa era tan grande que no había problema alguno. Hay una zona de la playa que se une con el río que es más tranquila, sin oleaje, para quien lo prefiera. Seguramente en verano esté llena, pero en temporada baja disfrutamos mucho de ella, ya que la temperatura era estupenda (24 grados aprox.), los perros podían correr sin preocuparnos porque no hay coches cerca, las campers son bienvenidas y el lugar es precioso.
Fantastic experience: Precioso lugar. Mar salvaje y peligroso. Playa infinita con dunas y caminos de madera para pasear entre las dunas y llegar hasta las Lagunas. No se permiten perros en la playa pero si en los caminos.

Fantastic experience: Esta praia da parroquia de Xuño, en Porto do Son, ten uns estraños e curiosos rochedos, chamados Pedras Negras, con furnas e labirintos, onde rompe con forza a marea. O lugar gustounos moito, sobre todo os diferentes cores, verdes e azules, da auga do mar. Tamén desde aquí vemos as outras dúas praias: de Río Sieira, ó norte, e a de Basoñas, ó sur.
Fantastic experience: Schöner Strand. Toller Sand. Abwechslungsreich für Kids. Mit Restaurant und Gelateria
Fantastic experience: Oleaje intento, frecuentada por surfistas, pero con una zona apta para un baño divertido. Arena fina, un kilómetro
Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach of almost 8 km, the sea is dangerous so be cautious.
Positive experience: A kilometer-long beach, with a lot of waves. The surfers are having a great time, and the rest of us mortals are enjoying it too. Several beach bars right on the beach and plenty of parking space. Practically along the beach, there is a wooden walkway that separates the coast from the pine forest area. There is a barbecue area and benches.
