Beach of O Picón, Atlantic beach in Loiba, Spain.

The Beach of O Picón lies at the foot of the Loiba cliffs in the parish of San Xulián de Loiba, Ortigueira, within the Estaca de Bares Site of Community Importance. Its sand surface varies greatly with the tide and is almost entirely covered at high water. It is a windy beach with heavy swell and strong undertow.

The area has served as a fishing ground and anchorage point for centuries and has been a key part of Ortigueira's coastline since ancient periods. Its natural formation has remained largely unchanged.

O Picón lies on the Ruta das Algas, a coastal trail that links the beach with the nearby Furnas jetty; walkers pass the cliff-top car park and recreation area above the sand. The beach takes its name from the hamlet of O Picón, the turn-off point on the CP-6104 road from which the cliff stairs descend.

Access is from the CP-6104 road, turning off at the village of O Picón; from there a staircase built against the cliff wall descends to the sand. At the top of the cliff there is a car park and a small recreation area. The beach is exposed to wind, heavy swell and strong undertow, and at high tide it is almost entirely covered by water.

At high tide the beach is almost entirely covered by water, so its surface varies greatly through the day. It lies within the Estaca de Bares Site of Community Importance, and the Ruta das Algas walking route links it with the nearby Furnas jetty.
