Matadero, Rock and white sand beach in Alcabre, Vigo, Spain.

The Matadero beach extends for 130 meters along the Galician coast, combining sections of white sand with natural rock formations near the water.

The beach location served as a natural harbor for local fishing vessels during the early development of Vigo's maritime industry in the 20th century.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices along the rocky sections of Matadero beach, collecting shellfish during low tide periods.

The beach offers direct access from the Vigo-Baiona coastal road, with regular cleaning services and waste bins available for visitors throughout the year.

The beach presents two distinct geological formations within its 30-meter width, transitioning from smooth white sand to textured rock surfaces.
