Praia de San Roque-Cetaria, Sandy beach in A Coruña, Spain.
Playa de San Roque-Cetárea is an urban beach in A Coruña featuring coarse sand and moderate wave activity along the city shoreline. The beach includes shower facilities and waste collection areas for visitor convenience.
The beach served as a key landing point for fishing boats over many generations, where crews brought their daily catch to shore. This fishing heritage deeply shaped the area's character.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals connect with the sea and maintain their bond to Galicia's coastal way of life.
Several bus routes connect the beach directly to the city center, making access straightforward for pedestrians and transit users. The surrounding streets are well-signed and easy to navigate.
Rocky formations along the beach create natural pools at low tide, where small marine creatures can be spotted. These shallow tide pools offer a glimpse into the local sea life for curious visitors.
