Impressive Even At High Tide

This beach is a short side trip off the A8 motorway and is worth a stop even if you haven't come at low tide. During the summer access is limited and must be booked in advance but we were able to roll right in and...More

Amazing rugged coast line

What a beautiful place to visit. The coastline is so rugged with loads of old buildings and abandoned work stations. A fabulous walk goes along the coast. Totally worth a visit or short stay. Lots of lovely looking villages around.

Cathedral beach (the name is in Spanish and Galician)

I'm glad I saw them. I built it up in my mind. It would have been better if I hadn't known about them but came across them myself. You are not allowed to view them from the top of the cliff. You don't have to...More

As Catedrais Beach with kids: a must see in Galicia.

The nature is wonderful and in this beach it shows all its power. We stopped there traveling around by motorhome. We spend the night at the parking lot with, around, 20 more motorhomes and we did not have any troubles. In the morning we just...More

Even in October, quite a crowd!

I actually think this is a bit over-hyped. It is a lovely, clean, big beach, and the rock formations are interesting and covered with all sorts of marine life. Worth an hour's visit.

Can you tell me anything about accessibility and how much walking is involved in getting to the beach itself? I can walk, but better on a straight rather than clambering about, and my endurance is limited due to chronic fatigue.

I am i’m the process of planning an elopement in Spain for Summer, 2019. I would love to be able to exchange vows and have my photo session at this beach. Does anyone have any experience with destination elopements or know of or have any information on wedding/event planners that may be able to help me in this region. Not really sure where to start so any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

I’m sure you could get some awesome photos done on the beach as long as you booked tickets for the whole group to attend. You would definitely need to check the tide times in order to make sure there was some beach to stand... More
