Beach of Covas, White sand beach in Viveiro, Spain.

Beach of Covas is a 1,500-metre-long sandy beach in the municipality of Viveiro, Lugo province, Galicia. It runs along a seafront promenade and has calm waters. At its western end rise the rocks known as Os Castelos, where a monument stands.

In 1810 the frigate Santa María Magdalena and the brig Palomo sank together here in a storm, with more than 500 dead. A monument on the rocks called Os Castelos, at the western end of the beach, recalls them. When heavy seas strip the sand, wreck remains appear; cannons stand in the Parque de Pernas Peón beside the beach and anchors in the town centre.
