8 Very good

This secluded beach is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of more popular shores. It's the ideal size for a peaceful retreat and even has a shower so you can rinse off afterwards.

Praia do Cocho is the perfect spot to unwind and relax. It's sheltered by the Islands of the Gods, and the old quarry nearby was used to build the docks in Vigo. You can easily drive to the beach and take a leisurely stroll through nature. Greetings from Moaña in the Rias Baixas!

The beach was far from ideal. It was littered with debris, algae, and garbage, and the danger of stones falling from the cliffs was an ever-present hazard. Additionally, the nearby shipyard was a source of constant noise and hazardous waste, making it an unsafe and unpleasant experience. All in all, it is not recommended.

8 Very good

It is a disaster. It's small, noisy and full of debris like stones and skewers. Not to mention the nearby shipyards that pollute the sea with their oil waste. As if that weren't bad enough, there's barely any sand - just black earth that clings to you. Avoid this beach at all costs.

Quite small, but unfortunately the noise from the children playing can be quite loud. There is also a shipyard nearby, which appears to be polluting the water with oil. The cleanliness of the beach is only fair.
