Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Area das Vacas is a small, isolated beach measuring 40 metres in length and 10 metres in width, with golden sand and rock facing a mountainous landscape protected by Red Natura 2000. Its low occupancy and strong waves reinforce the site’s secluded character. Access is one of its most distinctive features: it combines a walk considered difficult with a very narrow paved track whose condition makes arrival by car difficult. There is parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and an interurban bus stop 1.5 kilometres away. Vegetation forms part of the immediate surroundings.
