Beach · Vigo, Spain

A Area Vella

A beach in Vigo, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the south-south-west, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. The nearest chart sounding shows about 7.4 m of water 150 m offshore. Further out it reaches roughly 10.5 m at 400 m. The surroundings are wooded (trees around 12 m tall), so there is natural shade to find in the afternoon. Tides matter here: the range is about 2.9 m.
