Calsoa, Golden sand beach in Galicia, Spain
Calsoa is an urban beach with golden sand stretching about 270 meters along Galicia's northwestern coast. The beach measures roughly 30 meters wide and sits between modern buildings that line the shoreline.
The beach began as a simple fishing location and evolved into a modern urban resort in the 20th century. This shift reflects how coastal areas adapted to growing tourism and urban development in the region.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share the waterfront, creating a sense of community through daily activities. You can observe how families, athletes, and fishing enthusiasts use different sections throughout the day.
You can reach the beach by bus from the city center, with parking areas and equipment rentals available on-site. It works well to visit on less crowded days when you can comfortably move between the different zones.
Local fishermen still work in a dedicated section of the beach using traditional methods passed down through generations. This area shows how ancient fishing practices continue alongside modern beach activities.
