Beach of Vao, White sand beach in Pontevedra Province, Spain.
The Beach of Vao is a coastal strip with fine white sand stretching about 700 meters along the shore with a width of 110 meters. The water has moderate waves that suit different water sports activities.
The beach developed from a natural coastal area into an accessible destination through infrastructure improvements over several decades. These changes made it a place that many people could easily visit and enjoy.
The beach is a gathering place where families and water sports enthusiasts spend their days, reflecting how local people enjoy coastal life. You will see swimmers, surfers, and sunbathers mixed together throughout the day.
You can rent surfboards, canoes, and snorkeling equipment directly on the beach, making it easy to try different water sports. Nearby restaurants and cafes provide places to eat and rest between activities.
From here you have a direct view of Toralla Island, which creates an interesting visual landmark. At the same time, dune restoration projects protect the shoreline from wind effects while keeping the landscape natural.
