A Freixa fluvial beach

A Freixa fluvial beach is a river beach along the Tea River with natural sandy areas and green spaces for recreation. The site features picnic tables, a children's play area, dining options, and spaces for sports activities.

The area developed near the region's first hydroelectric plant, constructed in the early 20th century along the Tea River. This facility shaped the economic growth of the region at that time.

The beach serves as a gathering place where local families spend their summer days together along the riverbank. It reflects how people in this Galician region use natural spaces for daily leisure and social time.

The beach is accessible by road from both Ponteareas and Mondariz with multiple entry points. It is best visited during warmer months when all facilities are fully operational and the weather is suitable for swimming.

A dam originally built for the former power plant created a natural swimming pool in the Tea River. This water feature offers excellent swimming conditions and remains a popular bathing spot for visitors.
