Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa A Areiña Branca, also called Sandría, is a small beach of white sand and rock, calm and sheltered from the wind within the Camariñas estuary. Its 140-metre length and 15-metre width open onto an isolated mountainous setting, with vegetation and low occupancy. The RC-1 route passes its access points, although the main arrival is by car via the AC-432. There is parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and a cleaning service, two practical details for planning a visit.
