Find out more about Carnota Beach

Carnota beach, in the shape of a crescent, is a natural space of great beauty and of great environmental interest. Behind an immense sandy area, about 7 km long, a unique set of dunes and marshes with an interior lagoon is home to plant and animal communities of great interest. It includes A berberecheira, As Cangrexeiras, Carrofeito and a Raña.

For birdwatching enthusiasts, this is an ideal place, as it serves as a refuge for a multitude of species in their migratory movements, and others, which settle here throughout the year, with the addition of being one of the few places in Galicia where the white puffin nests.

In the heart of the beach, the mouth of the Vadebois River offers a wonderful spectacle in what is known as Boca do Rio.
