Beach of Doniños, Atlantic coastal beach in Ferrolterra, Spain.

The Beach of Doninos is a sandy shore stretching about 2 kilometers along Ferrol Bay on the Galician coast. The 50-meter width provides ample space for walking, playing, or sitting by the water.

Military fortifications and gun batteries were built along the shore in the 18th century to defend Ferrol Bay from naval attacks. These structures marked the coast's strategic importance during conflicts of that era.

The beach is named after the parish of Doniños, and its two ends are the only supervised swimming zones because of the currents. Surfers and bodyboarders use the strong swell, and the wide sand is also used for other water sports. In August the beach recalls the British landing of 25 and 26 August 1800, when troops came ashore to attack Ferrol.

You can reach the shore through two main access points, O Outeiro and Punta Penencia, both with parking areas nearby. It is easier to walk when the tide is low, as more sand becomes visible.

Behind the shore lies a lagoon system and pine forest sheltering rare dune formations and diverse bird species. This natural setting makes the area of special interest to nature watchers and those seeking quieter walks.
