Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de A Postiña, also called Area dos Cabalos, is an isolated beach measuring 350 metres in length and 30 metres in width, with dark sand and rounded stones facing a mountainous landscape protected as a Ramsar site and a Site of Community Importance (SCI). Access depends on sea level and the neighbouring beaches: it is reached from Fornos at low tide and from Figueiras at mid tide. By land, the route is very steep, and the entry also allows for arrival by boat. Low occupancy and moderate waves complete the site’s secluded character. There is an interurban bus in the area of the DP-6115.
