Caneliñas, Urban beach in Portonovo, Sanxenxo, Spain

Caneliñas is a small urban beach of fine white sand in the centre of Portonovo, in the parish of Adina, Sanxenxo. It is about 150 metres long and is crossed by the Avenida de Pontevedra. At one edge, a narrow channel between two rocks called La Covasa empties completely at low tide.

Caneliñas was formerly used to launch large vessels from land into the sea, a practice that ended as Portonovo's waterfront changed. The beach now lies within the urban centre of Portonovo, in the parish of Adina, Sanxenxo, and is crossed by the Avenue of Pontevedra.

In summer the beach hosts Zumba, football and yoga sessions, as the English Wikipedia article notes. It lies in the parish of Adina and is one of the urban beaches of Portonovo, together with Baltar.

The beach connects directly to Pontevedra Avenue, where you will find restaurants, shops, and public transportation within an easy walk. Its central location means it is accessible but may get busier during peak season.

The beach receives fewer visitors than neighboring beaches despite its urban setting, creating a quieter coastal retreat. This peacefulness makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a less crowded option.
