Beach options/ suggestions

[mel410]

Hi any suggestions of places to go once we have finished our walk - we plan to spend a day or two in santiago but then would like to take some timeout at a beach - anyone know of a nice beach in the area. We will be flying out from santiago so don't want to go too far afield.
thanks M

The beach at Fisterra is lovely so you can get some well earned beach R & R (and there is nothing as therapeutic as that first swim :lol: ) and also see the sun setting at end of 'the know world'-along with other pilgrims. The coastline up to Muxia is meant to be gorgeous to- so you're spoilt for choice.

Hola

No shortage of beaches within easy reach of Santiago - ask at the Tourist Office in Rua do Vilar and they will give you all the information you need - a popular beach within easy reach is at http://www.agalicia.com/vilagarciadearousa/ - 30 mins by direct train from Santiago

There are also nice beaches in A Corunna which have the added advantage of being easily accessible from SdC and also have plenty of accommodation nearby.
