About the coast in Arteixo
By Equipe editorial GTM Labs · Updated
Arteixo lies at the western end of the Ártabro Gulf, on the edge of the Costa da Morte, facing the Atlantic Ocean. Most of its coastline belongs to the Costa da Morte protected area, part of the Natura 2000 network, and a coastal path links most of its beaches, among them Sabón, Repibelo, A Hucha, Valcovo, As Combouzas, Barrañán and O Reiro. Barrañán beach stands out for its size, with a large dune ridge.
