Praia de Riazor is an urban sandy beach in the heart of A Coruña. Access is listed as permitted and bathing as supervised. It is a golden-sand beach and an urban beach; it holds the Bandera Azul distinction, as does its continuation to the northeast, Orzán beach. For an outing today, Riazor therefore stands out for its city location and structured beach profile, without requiring a long trip from A Coruña. Nearby beaches are Praia de San Roque-Cetaria 0.9 km away, Praia das Morosas 1.1 km and Praia do Portiño 2.9 km.
About this spot
Riazor is the obvious choice if you want an urban beach in A Coruña: sand, listed access, supervised bathing and continuity with Orzán. It is better suited to a city outing than to a search for an isolated cove.
