Praia Preguntoiro, Sandy beach in Vilaxoan, Spain
Playa Preguntoiro is a sandy beach on the Galician coast with fine tan sand and calm waters for swimmers. The shore stretches about 200 meters in length and sits protected in a sheltered inlet.
The beach lies on a historic pilgrimage route that leads visitors toward Santiago de Compostela. Its coastal location made it a long-established stop for travelers and maritime activity.
The beach connects to the fishing way of life that shapes the area, where local fishermen still use traditional methods. This reflects how deeply the community depends on the sea.
The beach has parking spaces, showers, and restrooms plus access to nearby dining options. Visitors should know that the inlet is very sheltered, meaning calm conditions most of the time, but also fewer crowds during rougher weather.
The inlet sits where a river meets the sea, creating a blend of fresh and salt water in a single space. This location makes it a rare example of a beach system fed by both river and ocean water.
