Fontaiña Beach

Fontaiña Beach, Beach in Coruxo, Vigo, Spain.

Fontaíña Beach is a 280-metre semi-urban beach in the Coruxo parish of Vigo, made of granitic sand. It continues naturally from the O Vao and Baluarte sands, separated by a small rocky outcrop. A stone cross (cruceiro) stands over its eastern end, making the spot easy to recognise.

Fontaíña is the natural continuation of the O Vao and Baluarte sands, from which a small rocky outcrop separates it. It takes its name from a fountain that once stood nearby. The beach holds the Blue Flag awarded to Vigo's beaches; the sources give no year for the award.

The beach takes its name from a nearby fountain, and its eastern end is marked by a stone crucero, a Galician cross monument. In summer the sand and the bars and restaurants behind it fill with bathers from Vigo and Coruxo.

The PO-325 coastal road between Vigo and Baiona runs right past the beach, and Vitrasa city buses L10 and L11 also serve it. Access ramps lead down to the sand, and showers, bins and summer cleaning and lifeguard services are provided.
