Sandy beach · Os Porros, Spain

Area das Pipas

A sandy beach in Os Porros, Spain. The bay opens toward the north across about 18 km of open sea, so expect waves when the wind comes from that side. The bottom drops away quickly: about 5.2 m of water only 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 8.8 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.
