Sandy beach · As Brañas, Spain

Praia do Castelete

Praia do Castelete lies in As Brañas, Spain, with a sandy shore. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the south-west, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. The nearest chart sounding shows about 3 m of water 150 m offshore. Further out it reaches roughly 3.4 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 12 m tall), enough for patches of shade. Tides matter here: the range is about 2.9 m.
