Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Cabeceira is a small white-sand beach surrounded by vegetation which, together with playa de Polvorín, forms the end of the ría de Pontevedra. It is 150 metres long and 12 metres wide, on a semi-urban frontage with calm waters and high occupancy. The seafront promenade runs alongside the shore, and the surroundings provide assisted bathing and amphibious chairs. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the PO-308, with fewer than 50 parking spaces and an interurban bus stop 50 metres away.
