Ribas Brancas, Sandy beach in Panxón Nigrán, Spain.

Ribas Brancas is a semi-urban beach of fine white sand in the parish of Panxón, in Nigrán, Pontevedra. It measures about 50 metres long and some 10 metres wide on average, and lies very close to Area Fofa beach.

The beach became an important location for fishing boats in the early 1900s as Panxón developed into a fishing community. For decades it remained the economic and social center for people who depended on the sea for their livelihood.

Ribas Brancas lies in the parish of Panxón, in the municipality of Nigrán, beside Area Fofa beach. Its white, fine sand and semi-urban setting make it a local bathing spot rather than a destination beach; bathers reach it on foot from the Panxón seafront.
