About Areíña Branca

By Equipe editorial GTM Labs · Updated 08/10/2026

Areíña Branca beach is a small stretch of fine sand on the inner side of the Camariñas estuary, in the parish of Xaviña. It is 100 m long. It is sheltered from the north-easterly wind, and from the shore you can see Lingunde beach and the town of Camariñas across the estuary. The council presents it as a quiet, secluded beach, well suited to going with children.
