Conditions less favourable for jellyfish arrival

Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Santa Mariña de Brantuas is a tiny, isolated beach barely 30 metres long and 5 metres wide, formed by golden sand and rock opposite a cliff. Its size is even more changeable because it practically disappears at high tide. It is near Rampa-Varadeiro and the port of Barquiña/Santa Mariña, located 0.5 km away, within vegetated surroundings protected by the Site of Community Importance (SCI). Access on foot is difficult from the Malpica to Ponteceso road, with an interurban connection 1 km away.
