Fontaiña Beach, Sandy beach in Vigo, Spain.
Fontaina Beach is a sandy stretch in Vigo extending about 300 meters with white sand and clear waters. Large stones mark the edges of the beach, creating natural borders along its perimeter.
The beach received the Blue Flag certification in 2016, an international recognition for water quality and environmental standards. This milestone reflected the beach's commitment to ecological and infrastructural excellence.
The beach maintains a regional tradition of offering both regular bathing areas and designated naturist spaces side by side. Visitors can observe how different groups share and respect the same shoreline.
Bus lines L10 and L11 connect the beach directly to central Vigo, making access straightforward. Wooden walkways lead directly to the sand, ensuring easy entry for all visitors.
A mermaid sculpture rests on a rock near the shoreline and inspired the beach's alternative name. This figure becomes particularly striking when seen during sunset, as light plays across the water.
