Beach of Morouzos, Beach in Luama, Ortigueira, Spain

The Beach of Morouzos is the eastern end of a long sandy shore in the parish of Luama, Ortigueira, facing north at the mouth of the Ortigueira estuary. It runs about 2,000 metres long and 110 metres wide, with dark, medium-to-coarse sand and moderate waves. Behind it lie one of Galicia's largest dune systems, with marshes, reed beds and a pine wood, and the San Martiño lagoon sits at its south-western end.

The region of Ortigueira grew over centuries through fishing traditions and maritime activity. The shore served as a natural harbor for local fishing operations.

The pine forest beside the shore transforms into a free camping area during the International Celtic World Festival of Ortigueira. This turn of events brings together visitors from many backgrounds in one seasonal gathering.

The shore has parking areas, shower facilities, restrooms, and lifeguards during warm months. Wooden walkways make it easy for people with mobility concerns to reach the water and sand.

The islet of San Vicente, off the beach's eastern edge, is joined to the sand by a tombolo that can only be crossed on foot at low tide; the crossing is not possible at high water. The dune field behind the beach, one of the largest in Galicia, holds the San Martiño lagoon, whose restoration won the 2007 San Telmo prize from the Galician civil engineers' association.
