O Porto do Barizo - all beaches

Malpica Beach is an ideal spot for families, as it offers a unique opportunity for children to learn about nature. Its northern shoreline is open to the public, and its eastern end features a number of beautiful intertidal pools. Visitors can observe a variety of creatures, such as lichens, algae, fish, minchas, fireflies, lampreys, urchins, and mussels, all from the comfort of the promenade or the nearby hotel terraces. It's a great way to teach kids biology and ecology, while still keeping them within sight of their parents.

That place was alright, if you can handle the cold water. We had a bit of fun body boarding in the evening, but there's no lifeguards or services here, so it's probably best suited for families who can keep an eye on their own.

The beach was a sight to behold; the white sand was pristine and the breeze was pleasant. However, the restaurant was a disappointment. The food was mediocre at best and we were served two large plates of it, which was far too much for the price. The service was adequate but nothing to write home about.

This beach is located in an urban area and has facilities like restrooms and showers. The sea is calm and quite cold, typical of its Atlantic location. The beach is often windy due to the nearby wind farm.

This spot may be small, but it sure packs a punch! The sand is thick, and the rocks are plentiful - perfect for a stroll along the shore. The water is icy cold, but the beach access is narrow, making this a cozy spot for a relaxing day.

The beach is peaceful and not too crowded, offering stunning views of the Sisargas Islands. Wooden stairs have been added for easier access to the sandy area. Unfortunately, there is no access for disabled individuals or those with limited mobility, and there is no lifeguard on duty.
