Praia de Carnota
Praia de Carnota is located on the coast of the municipality of Carnota, in Galicia. Its extent: the cited dimensions indicate 5,600 meters long and 90 meters wide, while another indicates more than seven kilometers and presents it as the largest beach in Galicia. At low tide, the sand exceeds 500 meters in width in some sections. White sand is mentioned, as well as strong waves with a windy character. The site should thus be considered as a very large open beach rather than a small sheltered cove. Nearby beaches include Praia de Sarradela at 3.2 km, Praia do Porto das Caramuxas at 3.7 km, Praia de Carreiroa at 5 km, and Praia de Laxeiras at 6.2 km.
About this spot
