Bascuas, White sand beach in Sanxenxo, Spain.
Description
Bascuas is a white sand beach along the Galician coast measuring about 100 meters in length and 40 meters across. The Atlantic waters here are clear and inviting, and the compact size gives it an intimate character.
History
The beach began as a quiet local swimming spot before gaining recognition as a notable destination. This transformation reflects the growing importance of the Galician coast for coastal tourism and recreation.
Culture
The beach welcomes both conventional swimmers and naturists who coexist peacefully side by side throughout the day. This natural mixing of different visitors creates an open and tolerant environment by the water.
Practical
Free parking is available near the beach and lifeguards are present during warmer months. Visitors should arrive early if they prefer a quieter experience, as the small size means it can fill up quickly.
Did you know?
The natural width of the beach allows visitors with different intentions to informally organize themselves without formal designation of zones. This spontaneous division happens organically through the physical geography of the location.
