Praia de Campelo

Praia de Campelo is a shingle and golden sand beach in Valdoviño stretching roughly 300 meters along the coast. The shoreline alternates between sandy sections and pebble-covered areas, creating varied conditions across the cove.

The coastal formation at Valdoviño took shape during the last ice age through glacial movements that carved the Galician rias. The area has retained its fundamental natural structure since those ancient geological transformations.

Local residents gather at Praia de Campelo during summer festivals to celebrate traditional Galician maritime customs and seafood preparation methods.

The beach has nearby parking areas and lifeguard surveillance during summer months for swimmer safety. Signage helps visitors identify safe swimming zones and navigate the shoreline.

The shoreline shifts daily between sandy and pebbly sections depending on tidal movements throughout the day. This natural variation offers visitors different experiences for swimming and walking across the same stretch of coast.
