Madorra, Urban beach in Panxón, Spain
Madorra is an urban beach in Panxón with olive-colored sand running roughly 350 meters along the coast and measuring about 45 meters wide. The water offers views across toward nearby islands and the broader Galician coastline.
The beach took shape as Panxón grew from a small fishing settlement into a modern coastal town over the past decades. This shift transformed the shoreline from a working harbor area into a place for leisure and tourism.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend their days swimming and socializing throughout the warmer months. People use it as a natural extension of their neighborhood, making it central to daily life in the village.
Multiple entrances from the seaside path lead directly onto the sand, with showers and waste bins set up nearby. The area is easy to reach and parking is available in the immediate vicinity.
At the northern end of the beach, small fishing boats return daily to the nearby harbor, offering a window into the working side of the coast. This direct connection to fishing keeps the area tied to its maritime roots despite its modern use.
