Beach · O Campo do Prado, Spain

Praia do Prado das Vellas

A beach in O Campo do Prado, Spain. The bay opens toward the west across about 7 km of open sea, so expect waves when the wind comes from that side. The bottom drops away quickly: about 6.8 m of water only 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 9.2 m at 400 m. The surroundings are wooded (trees around 13 m tall), so there is natural shade to find in the afternoon. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.0 m.
