Praia das Lapas
Praia das Lapas, also called Praia do Areal, is a small urban sandy beach located at the foot of the Torre de Hércules, in the municipality of La Coruña. Its former names, areal da Lagoa and areal da Torre, help to understand the area. The indicated amenities are showers, toilets, and parking; in summer, a lifeguard service, first aid, and ISO 14001 environmental management are mentioned. These services make the choice easier today, especially if you are looking for an identifiable urban option marked by a major monument. Nearby beaches include Matadoiro, Coído, Durmideiras, Mouro, and San Roque-Lino. The neighboring beaches provide fallback options if access, space, or atmosphere are not suitable.
About this spot
Das Lapas is convenient if you want a small urban beach in La Coruña, with the Torre de Hércules as an immediate landmark. Its size invites you to keep Matadoiro or Durmideiras as close alternatives. This is useful if you prefer to decide after seeing the area on-site.
