Rodas, White sand beach in Cies Islands, Spain.
Rodas extends for 1300 meters along the Cies Archipelago, connecting two islands with a natural sand formation and clear blue waters.
The Spanish government designated the Cies Islands as part of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park to protect its natural environment and marine ecosystems.
The beach represents a central element of Galician coastal identity, where residents gather during summer for swimming and social activities.
Visitors can access Rodas beach by taking a ferry from Vigo port, with services operating regularly during the main tourism season from June to September.
The beach forms a natural sand bridge between two islands, creating a double-sided shore where water conditions differ on each side.
