Nestled in the parish of Lires, the Area Grande and Pequena Beach are two small coves of soft white sand, each about 190 meters long. Sheltered and quiet, they offer a peaceful retreat amidst the wild beauty of the Costa da Morte.
Their remote location has made them popular among those seeking seclusion and privacy, away from crowded beaches. With stunning views of the estuary and a serene atmosphere, these beaches remain untouched corners of coastal Galicia.
One of the sea caves (furnas) in Area Grande holds a local legend: a nameless castaway was once found on the rocks and buried there. This tale lives on in the collective memory of Lires, adding a sense of history and mystery to this enchanting spot.
