Vilariño

Vilariño is an urban beach in Cangas featuring fine white sand that stretches roughly 550 meters along the coastline and measures about 60 meters wide. The water is clear and shallow areas transition into deeper sections, while small rocky outcrops punctuate the sandy shore.

The beach was developed and formalized as a recreational site in the second half of the 20th century, transforming what was once a less accessible coastal stretch. This development brought infrastructure and facilities that made it a destination for both locals and visitors.

The beach serves as a regular gathering spot where locals spend time walking, swimming, and picnicking on weekends and warm days. It reflects the relaxed, everyday rhythm of community life along this part of the Galician coast.

The beach has showers, waste bins, and cleaning services available to visitors throughout the day. Access is straightforward via a direct pathway that accommodates people with varying mobility needs.

During low tide, natural rock pools appear in the rocky sections where small marine creatures gather in shallow water. Visitors can explore these pools and watch sea anemones and tiny fish that briefly become accessible in the shallows.
