Beautiful rugged beach scene

As this was October and high tide we did not have an opportunity to actually hit the beach but enjoyed the views from the top of the cliffs / from paths and boardwalks. We were glad we made the short drive from Ribadeo to check...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.

Impressive beach

Visited about a month ago at sunset and place did not disappoint. Impressive beach and fantastic landscape from the rocks. I think this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. It is important to know, only 5,000 people are allowed to visit...More

Power of Mother Nature

Visited yesterday and although it was foggy in the province of Lugo, As Catedrais did not disappoint. Very dramatic rock formations with caves. We were unaware of having to register but the man at the stairs was very helpful. It was busier than I expected...More

Gorgeous but crowded

Dramatic rocks, most people walk along the sand and wade a little in the water; there is a very small area for swimming. In summer you need to get (free) tickets ahead of time. Go at low tide.

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!

Answer

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
