Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Fluvial is a completely artificial beach situated inland in the ría de Arousa. Its 200 metres in length and only 10 metres in width form a strip of golden sand beside a semi-urban urban frontage, with vegetation and protection as a natural area. Low occupancy and calm waters define its usual use, accompanied by a promenade. It is easily reached on foot or by car from the CC-550, with an interurban bus between Vilagarcía and Catoira half a kilometre away. Showers, litter bins and cleaning provide the essential facilities.
