Sheltered Beach · A Carballa, Spain

Praia das Vacas

A beach in A Carballa, Spain. Land closes it in on almost every side, so waves rarely build here. The nearest chart sounding shows about 8.4 m of water 100 m offshore. Further out it reaches roughly 7.6 m at 400 m. The surroundings are wooded (trees around 14 m tall), so there is natural shade to find in the afternoon. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.1 m.
