Playa de Santa Baia, Urban beach in Vigo, Spain
The crescent-shaped Playa de Santa Baia stretches for 230 meters along the Vigo coastline, featuring cream-colored fine sand with grey undertones.
Once a small fishing spot, Playa de Santa Baia evolved into an integral part of Vigo's urban development during the 20th century expansion.
Local fishermen gather early mornings at Playa de Santa Baia to collect rock mussels and shrimp, maintaining traditional Galician coastal practices.
The beach triples in size during low tide and offers essential facilities including showers, restrooms, and waste bins for visitors' comfort.
During summer evenings, the beach transforms into an open-air venue where residents gather to watch the sun set behind the numerous boats at Bouzas Marina.
