Playa del Matadero

Playa del Matadero extends for 80 meters along the northern coast of A Coruña, featuring moderate waves and a mixture of sandy and rocky sections.

The beach area has evolved with A Coruña's urban development throughout the twentieth century, becoming an integral part of the city's waterfront landscape.

Local residents gather at Playa del Matadero for the annual Longboard Festival, where national and international participants showcase their surfing abilities.

The beach provides essential facilities including showers, restrooms, lifeguard services, and first aid stations, with over 100 parking spaces along Paseo Marítimo Orzán-Riazor.

The combination of moderate waves and favorable wind conditions from southwest and northeast makes this location particularly suitable for surfing, bodyboarding, and longboarding activities.
