Sandy beach · Valdoviño, Spain

Praia da Frouxeira

Praia da Frouxeira lies in Valdoviño, Spain, with a sandy shore. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the north, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. The water stays shallow, about 0.4 m deep 50 m out, which suits children and wading. Further out it reaches roughly 6.6 m at 400 m. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.2 m. It is one of 15 beaches around Valdoviño; the nearest is Praia dos Curas, 2.0 km away.
