Praia de Arou

The available description indicates 130 meters in length and 50 meters in width, white sand, moderate surf, and some wind. Lifeguarding is indicated as present and dogs are prohibited. A correspondence warning dismisses the information related to the Blue Flag as a specific element for the spot; it is better to stick to the directly listed local markers. Praia de Arou stands out for its short and fairly wide format, more intimate than the large neighboring beaches. Lobeiras is 1.3 km away, Camelle is 1.4 km away, Trece is 3.9 km away, and Traba Beach is 5.6 km away.
About this spot
