A Coruña Beaches
A Coruña’s coastline is defined by its diverse sandy stretches, ranging from the expansive urban arcs of Riazor and Orzán to the secluded coves beneath the Tower of Hercules. Many locations, such as Orzán, are characterized by strong Atlantic swells favored by surfers, while others like Oza and San Amaro provide sheltered waters protected by breakwaters. This selection includes Blue Flag beaches and smaller urban inlets distributed along the city's rocky peninsula.
