Montalvo Beach

Montalvo Beach is a wide sandy shore with fine white sand along the Ría de Pontevedra, extending for a considerable length with consistent width. The water has moderate wave action and the sand provides a gentle surface for swimming and relaxation.

The headland of Punta Montalvo has served as a navigation landmark for ships entering the Ría de Pontevedra for centuries. This natural promontory has held importance in the region's maritime activity throughout history.

The beach is a gathering place where locals and visitors spend time swimming and relaxing with family and friends during warm months. The calm waters in parts of the shoreline make it accessible for people of different ages and swimming abilities.

The beach has showers, toilets, and first aid stations available, particularly active during the summer season. Visitors should keep in mind that these facilities may be limited or closed during cooler months.

Behind the beach are natural sand dunes that gradually transition into a pine forest, creating an interesting space between seaside and woodland. This forested strip provides shade and separates the shoreline from the developed area beyond.
