Ribas Brancas, Sandy beach in Panxón Nigrán, Spain.
The beach presents 500 meters of light-colored sand bordered by natural rock formations and extends along the Atlantic coast of Galicia.
The beach has served as a traditional gathering place for local fishermen since the early 1900s, when Panxón established itself as a fishing community.
Local residents maintain the tradition of celebrating the Festival of San Juan on this beach, lighting bonfires and participating in midnight swimming rituals.
The beach offers monitored swimming areas during summer months, with dedicated parking spaces and restroom facilities located near the main entrance.
The sand at Ribas Brancas contains natural mineral deposits that create a silvery reflection when exposed to morning sunlight.
