Lérez Beach, River beach in Pontevedra, Spain
Lerez Beach is a river bathing site along the Lerez River in Pontevedra with white sand and spacious sunbathing areas. The setting features grass zones with stone tables and trees that provide natural shade throughout the day.
The beach was developed in the early 2000s as a recreational area along the Lerez River. This development was part of a broader effort to open the river to the local community for leisure activities.
The beach hosts traditional local celebrations such as the San Benedict of Lérez festival, where people gather to enjoy fresh mussels and other regional food specialties.
The site has showers, toilets, lifeguard coverage, and a first aid station on the grounds. Supervised swimming typically runs from June through August, and wheelchair access is available throughout.
The beach experiences tidal influences from the nearby Pontevedra ria, which regularly changes water conditions and creates variable swimming experiences. Visitors may notice the water level and flow differ noticeably throughout the day.
