Praia do Abra, Rock beach and white sand beach in Panxón Nigrán, Spain.

Praia de Patos is a semi-urban beach in the parish of Panxón, in the municipality of Nigrán, at the mouth of the Val Miñor. It lies between the Monteferro peninsula and the beach of Caranquexo, also called das Canas, facing the open sea and the Cíes Islands. Its waves, shaped by that open-sea orientation, draw surfers.

Panxón was a fishing community for centuries, and the shore served as a working coast for local boats. During the 20th century, the area gradually shifted toward leisure use as visitors from the region began coming to the beach in greater numbers.

Patos takes its name from the parish of Panxón, in the Val Miñor, and its waves, shaped by the beach's orientation toward the open sea, draw surfers and their followers. The sand lies between the Monteferro peninsula and the beach of Caranquexo, also called das Canas.

Showers, toilets, and sun lounger rentals are available during the swimming season, mostly concentrated in the central sandy section. If you plan to explore the rocky ends, bring shoes with a firm sole since the ground is uneven there.

The beach faces the Islas Cíes, part of the Parque Nacional Marítimo-Terrestre das Illas Atlánticas. Its open-sea orientation produces the waves that draw surfers, while the calmer water behind Monteferro shelters the neighbouring Praia do Caranquexo, also called Praia das Canas.
