Find out more about Carnota: Carnota Beach & Lariño Lighthouse

Both the Lariño lighthouse, a little further south along the coast, and Carnota beach itself are great places to see the stars.

The immense 7-kilometre-long sandy area of Carnota stands out as a natural point for stargazing on the Costa da Morte. It is an ideal place to spend a long summer day, enjoying the sea, bird watching and other activities before the arrival of night. Once the light falls, the stars begin to appear and, with some luck, a good night sky can coincide with the phenomenon of the Sea of Ardora. Can you imagine it? It’s possible because it’s already happened!

Lighthouses, rivers, beaches and much more on the Costa da Morte
