Beach of Bens, Golden sand beach in Bens, Spain.

The Beach of Bens is a sandy shore along the Galician coast, stretching about 60 meters in length with a width around 40 meters. The seabed combines gravel and golden sand, with consistent wave action typical of this exposed western location.

The beach was used as the city dump until the Bens landfill was built in the 1970s. In 2005, over 1,000 litres of diesel from the A Coruña refinery spilled onto the beach via the Napal river. A sewage overflow from Arteixo followed in 2006, and in 2013 a treatment plant discharge blocked the walk between A Seavella or O Portiño and the beach.

The beach lies beside the Bens wastewater treatment plant, the A Coruña refinery, the Nostián waste plant and a sewage pumping station of Arteixo. Until the Bens landfill was built in the 1970s, the beach itself served as the city's dumping ground. Bus line 6A reaches it.

The beach is accessible from the nearby A Coruña-Finisterre road, with a parking area located close to the shoreline. Visitors should prepare for stronger wind conditions, particularly when westerly winds are active along the coast.
