Sandy beach · A Igrexa, Spain

Praia de Area Grande

A sandy beach in A Igrexa, Spain. The bay opens toward the north across about 12 km of open sea, so expect waves when the wind comes from that side. The bottom drops away quickly: about 7.4 m of water only 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 5.9 m at 400 m. Bathing water has been rated Excellent in each of the last 4 seasons. There are some trees around the beach (trees around 8 m tall), enough for patches of shade. Tides matter here: the range is about 2.9 m.
