Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Santa Baia combines 230 metres of fine sand with the usual conditions of a sheltered beach. The result is a moderately sized beach with limited exposure, recognisable within the coast of Vigo, in Pontevedra. Its public name is sufficient to establish the identity of the place, while its length and texture explain its basic form. No information is recorded about the landscape, surroundings, access or services, so the description includes no elements beyond the listing and remains focused on the available morphology.
