Samil Beach - by Samir Ali on Google





Description
Samil is Vigo's most popular beach, it is not very deep but nearly 1km wide with full amenities including swimming pools and some sport fields. It holds a blue flag rating
Access & Transport
The beach is in Naiva, 6km southwest of the centre of Vigo. There is free car park on site Bus lines L10 and C15 go there.
Instructions & Recommendations
If you have a car, you can make a short detour to check out Castrelos Park on the way between the beach and the city centre.
Environmental & Social
No carbon footprint linked to this attraction. Some economic benefits to the local community but increased commercialization also has its drawbacks
Conclusion
Samil is not the most beautiful of Galician beaches, there is some serious competition there, but it offers solid value given its proximity to the centre of Vigo (for those making a stop there or residents) and its good tourist infrastructure. Works very well for families
Key positive
Clear water and good sunsets
Family-friendly venue
Key negative
Cold water and can be busy
Suitability
Suitable for all ages and the promenade is not much higher than the sand so visitors with reduced mobility should be able to enjoy the place
