Praia de Samil

Positive experience: Perfect beach with all services, and behind the promenade that runs along the beach, you can find restaurants where you can sit and enjoy beautiful views or simply relax. There is ample parking in various areas of the beach, and it also has children's pools and a skating rink.

Fantastic experience: Clean beach with very good access

Fantastic experience: Are you from Ourense and haven't seen your neighbor in the summer for a while? He’s probably here; stop by to greet him while you finish with second-degree burns because you refused to apply sunscreen again since 'the sky is cloudy.' The parking lot also has attendants, like in the civilized world, so bring some extra euros or park 4km away from the beach.

Negative experience: I have been coming to this beach my whole life, after some time I returned and found everything full of garbage. When they finished picking it up, they left the bags piled up next to the tables; we couldn’t sit down to eat there, the seagulls spreading the trash. They removed the showers that were along the beach, and the pools for children cannot be accessed until noon, and the lifeguard excuses not being present because he doesn't watch the pool, a child could drown without anyone noticing.

Fantastic experience: Perfect beach for a nice sunny day, parking in the area and with shady spots to rest from the sun at times.

Fantastic experience: Marabilla pero hai que asfaltar os aparcamentos e estaría ben acotar ou vallar unha zona canina ou unha das zonas verdes preparala para cans. Deseando ver o novo paseo rematado ☺️

Positive experience: Beach with services and beach bars but it gets really crowded, the good thing is that at the end, crossing the river, there is a great dog beach.
