Carnota Beach - by Carlos Gomez on Google
Description
Carnota is a 7km crescent-shaped beach in western Galicia. The Río Vadebois estuary, the sand dunes and marshes make for a scenic natural environment that is also popular with bird watchers.
Access & Transport
The beach is accessible by boardwalks from the car parks. Carnota is 65km west of Santiago de Compostela and 100km southwest of A Coruña.
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with the Fervenza do Ézaro waterfalls, a 20mins drive away.
Environmental & Social
No carbon footprint linked to this attraction. Tourism brings some economic benefits to the local community (not over-commercialized)

The beach of Carnota is one of several good options on this stretch of the Atlantic Coast. What sets it apart is its size and immediate hinterland with small sand dunes giving it it that wild feel
