Compostela

The white sand beach of Compostela stretches 300 meters along the Galician coastline, offering a 7-meter-wide strip for beachgoers near Vilagarcía de Arousa.

The beach developed alongside the growth of Vilagarcía de Arousa port, becoming an integral part of the region's maritime expansion during the 20th century.

The beach serves as a meeting point for locals and pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago, connecting maritime traditions with religious journeys.

Compostela beach is accessible by a 30-minute train ride from Santiago de Compostela, with regular connections throughout the day from the central station.

The beach location allows visitors to observe large cargo ships entering the industrial port while enjoying the natural setting of the Arousa estuary.
