Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Esteiro - Xove combines a length of 400 metres with a fine-sand surface and a frontage defined as an open beach. This combination of size and exposure to the sea is its main recognisable feature on the coast of Xove, Lugo. The name retains the full public reference and distinguishes it without relying on additional information. The listing does not describe coastal forms, vegetation, access or services, so the text is limited to the basic morphology, sand texture and open character of the beach.
