Llas Beach, Sand beach in Foz, Spain

Llas is a semi-urban beach in the municipality of Foz, Lugo, on the Cantabrian Sea, northwest of the town centre. It runs about 750–760 metres long with an average width of 30 metres, and a dune area carries the road that borders it. Winds from the Cantabrian produce moderate waves, and in summer there is lifeguard cover and a Red Cross post.

Until tourism reached the Mariña luguesa in the early 1970s, the dunes of Llas, known locally as Os Ceás, served as a cemetery for farm animals such as pigs, horses and cows that died in strange circumstances. Because there was no veterinary control, the carcasses were buried away from houses to prevent contagion, and the easy digging made the sand the chosen ground. The dunes were divided among the neighbouring parishes for this use. When tourists began arriving, the animal graveyard was moved to the spoil heap of a former ceramics factory, now gone, though bones still surface fairly often.

The dunes behind the beach, known locally as Os Ceás, were divided among neighbouring parishes before tourism arrived in the early 1970s. Each parish used its own section as a burial ground for farm animals that died of disease, since sandy ground was easy to dig and the shore had no other use. When tourists began arriving, the animal cemetery was moved to the spoil heap of a former ceramics factory, now gone; bones still turn up in the sand.

Llas Beach lies northwest of Foz's town centre, with the road running over its dune area. In summer it has lifeguard cover, a Red Cross post and kiosks, but no rental services of any kind. Its moderate waves and wind make it suited to water sports.
