Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Canto de Area is an isolated beach of white sand and gravel, set into a cliff coast. Its 120 metres of length and 20 metres of width form a lightly occupied shore, with vegetation and customary moderate waves and wind. Difficult access on foot reinforces its remote character and is the main practical detail. Arrival is linked to the Canido-Canto de Area path and to the interurban bus service between Vigo and Baiona. The entry records no specific beach services.
