Sandy beach · Vigo, Spain

A Area de San Martiño

A sandy beach in Vigo, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the east-north-east, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. It deepens at a steady pace, reaching about 2.4 m some 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 5.8 m at 400 m. 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.
