Description

It is a straight beach, located in a semi-rural environment.[3] It is bordered on the left by Punta Montalvo, a natural promontory and scenic viewpoint, and on the right by Punta Paxariñas, which is less pronounced and separates Montalvo beach from Paxariñas beach.

The fine white sand forms very gently sloping dunes with sparse vegetation that separate the beach from the nearby pine forest. It is a wide, windy beach with moderate waves, which has an area for mooring boats.[4]

Access

From Sanxenxo, on the PO-308 road to O Grove, in Montalvo, take a left turn towards the beach.
