Situated on the Atlantic coast, the province of Pontevedra boasts stunning beaches, from the Ría de Arousa in the north to the mouth of the Miño River in the south.

The Ría de Pontevedra leads us to the beaches closest to the provincial capital: Poio, Sanxenxo, O Grove, Marín, Bueu... But we must not forget the beauty of the Ría de Vigo or the tranquillity of the Ría de Arousa, the largest of the Galician rias.

The following selection is just a small example of the magnificent beaches of Pontevedra.
