Praia de Raeiros

Playa de Raeiros is a sand beach along the Galician coast of Rias Baixas, stretching about 670 meters with fine golden sand framed by natural vegetation. Multiple access points, parking facilities, and public restrooms serve visitors throughout the year.

The beach developed as a fishing settlement centuries ago, protected by natural coves that offered safe harbor for boats and coastal workers. Over time it became part of the broader maritime network connecting Galician coastal communities.

Local fishermen sell their catch at nearby markets, keeping traditional seafood harvesting methods alive in the daily rhythm of this coastal community. This connection to the sea shapes how people here live and work.

Visit early in the morning when low tide reveals extensive sand banks and makes walking across the beach easier. Summer months bring lifeguard services, though the water remains swimmable year-round.

When the tide goes out, visitors can collect shells and watch small sea creatures in tidal pools across the exposed sand banks. This exploration reveals the area's marine life in an unexpected way.
