Best beaches in Vigo

Vigo’s coastline ranges from the urban expanse of Samil Beach, equipped with swimming pools and a long promenade, to the protected wilderness of the Cíes Islands. A Area das Rodas, a crescent of white sand connecting Monteagudo and O Faro islands, is part of the Atlantic Islands National Park. Other notable spots include O Vao, known for its fine sand and Roman villa ruins nearby, and smaller, sheltered coves like Praia de Canido and Praia da Punta located along the Ría de Vigo.
