Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Portocelo forms part of a group of four small beaches—together with Seixos Negros, Ribas Blancas and Area Fofa—made up of rocks and sand north of the Baiona ria. On this shore, white sand occupies 70 metres of length and 40 metres of width, within an isolated mountainous coast with vegetation and low occupancy. The customary conditions are described as strong waves and wind. Access is easy on foot via the coastal road between Vigo and Baiona, with cleaning service and the port of Panxón as a reference.
