Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Preguntoiro is an isolated stretch 450 metres long and barely 15 metres wide, with golden sand and calm waters. Although the immediate surroundings are described as isolated, the coastal frontage is classified as urban and the beach has a promenade, a combination that gives it a distinctive character within the coastline of Vilagarcía de Arousa. Visitor numbers are moderate and access is on foot, with signs and an urban bus connection. The surroundings have showers, litter bins, cleaning, food service and a play area, as well as Marina Vilagarcía as a nautical reference.
