Praia Da Lanzada

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach even in winter...

Fantastic experience: I stopped by in January to see it and I loved it. I would have liked to stay a little longer. The sound of the waves there was very relaxing for me. Also, there weren't many people walking around. I don't know what it will be like in the summer.

Fantastic experience: It's colder than your ex's heart and longer than the time it took you to forget him. Not suitable for weak minds or people with any sensitivity.

Fantastic experience: A long and wide beach that allows for perfect walking. Its sunsets are spectacular.

Positive experience: Crowded in summer, ideal for strolling at any other time of the year.

Fantastic experience: The beach is a paradise both in winter and in summer. It is long and if the conditions are good, it has wonderful waves. However, in the summer it gets overcrowded and I have seen many people stepping on the dunes or protesting because there are surfers... the dunes are protected and there are more beaches in the area where there are no waves and therefore, surfing is not practiced. The promenade that goes from the hermitage to the part of the beach that belongs to O Grove is very relaxing.

Fantastic experience: I don't care about the weather; if I pass through the area, I have to go. This last visit, despite the wind and rain, and even with a hurricane missing, the visit was mandatory both when I arrived and before I left the area. I think it's one of my favorite spots.

Fantastic experience: Paradisiacal.

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach (some photos of the way)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic as always

Fantastic experience: Just two words... Im-pressive!

Positive experience: Huge beach, gigantic parking. Freezing water and a lot of wind. There are bathrooms, but curiously the beach showers don't have water, nor do the sinks. They are installed, but they don’t work. There is no bar/shack. Lots of people. It's a shame that for the amount of people there are, the beach showers are not operational and there is no bar.

Fantastic experience: Famous and spectacular beach for its size and sand, I go whenever I can to relax. Problem is, on summer weekends huge traffic jams are generated.

Fantastic experience: A beach with good conditions, in a tourist area and with good surfable water.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach of 20+2.

Positive experience: Very nice, water very cold, but a very good atmosphere and there are places to eat nearby.

Negative experience: TOTAL ABANDONMENT OF LA LANZADA BEACH. What this beach was like 15 years ago and what it is now, the one that was one of the best beaches in Spain is in a total state of neglect; it had a very well-preserved protected area by everyone, now instead of extending the sand as it was done before, they refer to some false dunes that are not, the brambles are invading the sand, when the tide comes in there is almost no beach left, there are no showers, nor foot-washing stations, there isn't even a beach bar, they are getting rid of them all. What do the politicians intend? Do they hardly have personal interests?

Fantastic experience: A beach with a lot of charm, very secluded and perfect for taking a swim surrounded by plenty of wildlife.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Galicia, Spain, and the world. Stunning views. It wouldn't hurt to have some more public services since if you're going to spend a few hours, they become necessary. Good access and usually very clean. Definitely very recommendable.

Positive experience: one of the best beaches in Galicia

Fantastic experience: For me, the best beach in the whole world...

Fantastic experience: Ideal beach for going with children

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and extensive beach with easy parking as there are many parking areas. It is ideal for walking due to its great length. The water is a bit cold. There are several beach bars nearby.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach with frozen water but with all the services

Fantastic experience: Very wide beach, there are beach bars where you can eat, parking, bathrooms

Fantastic experience: Incredible beach. Very long for walks.

Fantastic experience: Although it is always crowded, it's great for those of us who love surfing.

Negative experience: There are barely any services, just bathrooms... The outdoor showers don't work and there are no beach bars.

Positive experience: I didn't find this beach appealing. Crowded with people. Great parking. There are much better beaches in the area.

Fantastic experience: Hello beautiful wide beach, everyone does their own thing, very cool.

Fantastic experience: Beach with crystal clear waters and white sand. There are several places to get a drink. It is true that in August it is too crowded.

Negative experience: Given how large the beach is, they could reserve a piece for people to go with dogs. The dog-friendly area nearby is very small. People take shells and leave trash, but dogs that don't enter the beach won't ruin it. The shower in the large parking lot has no water. A positive point is that it has restrooms.

Positive experience: The beach is very beautiful and is in a spectacular location. The access with the parking is quite convenient. The sand has many shells and above all, being more open to the sea than the estuaries, the water is very very very cold. Dipping your feet in and having them go numb is all one. Other than that, great beach.

Positive experience: Good beach to visit if you are in the area. If you don't mind cold water (this beach is rated as having the coldest water in Spain) it's ideal for swimming because there are no excessive waves and it doesn't cover dangerously. Most people who go decide to take a walk along the shore which is ideal especially in the morning when the beach is quite wide, then in the afternoon the tide comes in quite a bit. The ground is a mix of sand closer to the water and small stones and shells in the back areas. WARNING: The foot showers do not work.

Positive experience: One of the most emblematic beaches in Pontevedra. Between Sanxenxo and O Grove. About 2.5 km of fine sand. It has several large parking areas, the old airfield has space for more than 500 vehicles. Restaurants, beach bars, and other services are available. When a strong northeast wind blows, the sand can be bothersome. It has toilets, showers, and surf and paddle surf schools, umbrellas, and sunbeds. The water is usually icy! It features a protected dune area, NO ANIMALS ALLOWED. Adequate anti-COVID measures are in place. WiFi and more bathrooms are needed for it to be an excellent beach. This July, August, and September 2021, there was poor surveillance allowing people with their dogs to enter, letting them bathe and poop when it is prohibited. They should be attentive to correct these errors that could lead to losing the blue flag if reported. The left side of the beach facing the sea usually has thorny fish that sting and cause severe pain... Smoke-free beach. The score was lowered because of those who do not respect the ecological, social, or health regulations, meaning too many dogs and many off-leash... non-existent surveillance. This year 2024 they removed the blue flag due to a lack of lifeguards.

Fantastic experience: Very large beach, with some waves for people who surf and space to walk. It has a beautiful promenade that runs parallel to the beach, and an area with restrooms and showers.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. La Lanzada is a very extensive beach: it is 2.5 kilometers long, more than three if we consider the adjacent stretches of Areas Gordas and Lapa. Locally, it has 3 names for its stretches: Areas Gordas, Lapa beach, and La Lanzada beach. It is one of the most well-known beaches in Galicia and the Rías Bajas. During the summer, a large number of tourists come to visit.

Fantastic experience: Beach, beautiful and iconic of Galicia, where the legend says that if you get wet and have a few soles, you get pregnant.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful!

Fantastic experience: Praia muito serena

Fantastic experience: Socorristas y cuidada! Aparcadero grande!

Fantastic experience: La mejor playa de Galicia y seguramente de España :)

Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa gallega, airosa y agua helada

Positive experience: Otra maravilla de esa tierra. Un poco descuidada la limpieza, pero seguro que así es mejor.

Fantastic experience: Espectacular playa

Fantastic experience: No hay palabras para describir este idílico lugar.

Positive experience: Everything a beach holiday viditor desires.

Fantastic experience: Me encanta!...naturaleza en estado puro !

Positive experience: Es amplia para darte un paseo y limpia pero la temperatura no subió de 21 grados y demasiado viento que terminamos con dolor de oídos, íbamos con sudadera todo el tiempo.

Positive experience: It was fantastic, there weren't many people and the weather couldn't be better, you have a great day when there aren't many people.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach to enjoy the sea, its white sands, and rugged scenery.

Fantastic experience: It is definitely my favorite beach, despite its reputation for having more waves, but for a stroll along the beach and listening to the sound of the sea, you won't find better. There is plenty of parking available, a walk through the dunes, and activities like surfing classes nearby. It may not have many beach bars nearby, but it is a natural setting and that's fine too.

Fantastic experience: One of our favorite beaches in Galicia. Ideal for spending the day and with other things to do nearby.

Positive experience: At the end of April, with several sunny and warm weekends, there were many people strolling on the beach and the restrooms were closed.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and spacious beach, with a wooden promenade that borders it. Ample parking.

Fantastic experience: Amazing walk, wonderful views, you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach but there are no restrooms or dining options nearby, so bring water and food if you want to spend the day. I give it 5 because it is beautiful and worth visiting.

Fantastic experience: Great beach with white sand, crystal clear waters, and a large bathing area. With a very large parking lot, I imagine it will be packed during high season. But the truth is it's worth visiting if you're in the area.

Positive experience: Beach with very good conditions, good access, but a bit windy and the sea is clear but with 'some' wave activity. I much prefer my 'private beach' that I found in Sanxenxo.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, long and wide, very clean, crystal clear waters but often cold, especially in May and June despite hot days in the sun. Not very structured, but that's what makes it beautiful. I recommend staying until sunset in June, almost at 9:30 PM.

Positive experience: It is very beautiful, the waves are gorgeous, but there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Fantastic experience: The best beach in the world. Beautiful at any time of the year. The sunsets are incredible.

Fantastic experience: Very long beach with continuous waves. Ideal for playing and taking advantage of the surf with a green flag. Crowded.

Fantastic experience: La Lanzada beach is one of the most famous in Galicia. It is located in the municipalities of El Grove and Sanxenxo, at the southern tip of the Salnés region. It has been awarded the Blue Flag multiple times.

Fantastic experience: Wide beach (about 2.5 km approx.) located in O Grove and Sanxenxo. Fine sand beach, crystal clear water, and quite a bit of waves. There are many places to park.

Fantastic experience: Even as a child, it was our favorite beach, and it hasn't changed after 50 years. The pier is in good condition and the beach is clean.

Negative experience: How is it possible that a beach of this category hasn't had showers for several years?? What a bad image. They could even charge for them with a card like they did in Nigrán a few years ago, which worked well; well, it should be noted that on the Sanxenxo side they have foot showers which is something, but O Grove has nothing at all. I don’t think it’s free for municipalities like: A Coruña, Vigo, Boiro, Ribeira, A Pobra, Vilagarcía, Ferrol, Arteixo, Foz, Viveiro, Cedeira, Laxe, Carnota, Cabanas de Bergantiños, Nigrán, Porto do Son, just to name a few, and they didn’t remove showers, they even improved them. Thanks to all of them.

Positive experience: Very large beach with a beautiful landscape, but very touristy, it takes away the charm.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches I have been able to visit and enjoy. Always clean and wonderful ✅️

Fantastic experience: I witnessed one of the most stunning sunsets I have ever seen. The sky was painted in shades of orange, pink, and purple, reflecting in the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic. The expansive beach, with its fine golden sand, seemed to merge with the horizon, and the gentle murmur of the waves provided a soothing melody to the visual spectacle. La Lanzada Beach is the perfect place to get lost in the magnitude and beauty of a Galician sunset, a memory I cherish as one of the most magical moments of my life.

Fantastic experience: Beach with great charm and perfect views. It's very good for surfing.

Fantastic experience: It is a long and very beautiful beach. It is a dangerous beach for swimming as it has a lot of waves. There is a lot of surfing at this beach and it is ideal for that sport. They have a surf school. Across the road, there are several beach bars to get something to drink. There is quite a bit of parking, but it fills up quickly because a lot of people come. The times we went in the afternoon, some gentlemen usually came by to sell wafers to eat. We bought some and they were very fresh, and two wafers cost one euro. A bit expensive because in other beaches, four cost one euro.

Positive experience: Large beach next to San Vicente del Mar, some waves but recommended for children. There is a lot of asphalt parking where you can park the campervan and sleeping is allowed, there are usually many campervans and campers spending the night. Then along the beach by the road there are also parking spots for campervans.

Fantastic experience: Beach with impressive dimensions, yes, there are seaweeds, but that's not dirt. If you want fewer people and super crystal-clear water, you can go to the nearby coves like Praia da Lapa or others.

Fantastic experience: Excellent.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars

Fantastic experience: The best beach in the world. Wild.

Fantastic experience: It's a great beach, super long for walking and has waves for people who enjoy surfing.

Fantastic experience: I prefer it for walking and enjoying the scenery rather than for swimming.

Fantastic experience: Cold and clean water. Parking available and 2.5 km of beach.

Positive experience: It is beautiful, very good for swimming. It lacks bathrooms and showers in good condition.

Fantastic experience: Ideal for going with family and/or children because of how spacious it is, with no problem finding a spot. We have been there during high season and it was great.

Fantastic experience: Perfect.

Fantastic experience: Huge, wild beach with fine sand. It has beach bars and public services. Totally recommended.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach with rocks, fine sand, and dunes

Fantastic experience: What a great BEACH area, clean with all kinds of services and very pleasant in summer because the temperature is very nice, the only thing is the water is VERY COLD for those of us coming from Madrid and at a certain age, but ... it is worth going.

Fantastic experience: A famous and therefore crowded beach, but depending on the areas. The advantage is that it is very long and you can choose quieter spots. Crystal clear water.

Fantastic experience: It's no wonder they say it's one of the best in Galicia: it's kilometer-long, has plenty of parking spaces (although the road gets a bit congested during peak season). There were no showers, that said. The sand doesn’t stain, and there were no remains of cigarette butts or other rubbish. The water is cold but clean. Perfect for walking and if you dare, swimming. BE CAREFUL with some areas with shell remains as some wasps gather there.

Fantastic experience: A very large beach ideal for walking. Being in Galicia, the water is cold but for water sports, it has very good waves. There is parking available for the car and a beach bar to grab something to drink.

Positive experience: Extensive and clean beach in a protected area. However, a motorcycle parking area near the access is missed, because otherwise, we take up car space, which is larger.

Fantastic experience: Super big beach and there is plenty of parking. In summer, the beach is a bit crowded, but it's okay to be there. The water is very clean.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular beaches for walking, spending the day, or watching the sunset

Fantastic experience: I didn't remember how wonderful it is to be in this place, suitable for everyone, beautiful and very relaxing.

Fantastic experience: I give it 5 stars to disguise, but the Xunta often puts fog banks there so that people don't really enjoy the beach. It's better for tourists NOT to go to this beach, it's very small and there is always the fog put by MeteoGalicia, it never gets sunny even in August. Very little parking space and on top of that, paid... tourists do not go here!

Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach, one of the best if not the best in the area. With services like bathrooms, cafeterias, surfing classes, lifeguards, etc. It is a beautiful beach that, facing the open sea, usually has some waves, and it is advisable not to venture too far from it as there are sometimes undertows that can pull you in.

Positive experience: Very long sandy shelley beach, have toilets along the board walk. A few beach bars. A board walk.

Positive experience: The biggest beach with a lot of space. Place your towel nect to the dune as the tide will surprise you.

Fantastic experience: Love this beach, surf club and a few places to eat as well as a public toilet which is kept very clean which was a surprise. Because of covid it was not very busy which is a great advantage as well. Recommended for families with kids.

Positive experience: Very long beach with plenty of parking available. It was fairly busy as we went in August, but since its so long fairly wide it was fine. Kids had a great time looking for shrimp and small crabs.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with views to open sea. Nice dunes surrounding the beach. Easy to park, small 'chiringuito' to get some refreshments.
