A Coruña has some beautiful beaches.

Often-overlooked La Coruña in northern Spain is just the place to find good food, fabulous beaches and a dash of culture, says Paul Richardson

Galicia has plenty of STUNNING beaches, now, how to get there from Santiago is a different story, unless you have a car.

As Trecile suggest above, Coruña is a safe bet; as an alternative, the area near Vigo has interesting beaches too, Fisterra or Muxia, for example, have fabulous beaches too, but public transport is not easy.

The most practical option is probably Coruña by train, I guess. Anything else, you might need a car.

If you DO have a car, I have something special about La Lanzada, and if you have the time, a trip by boat to Islas Cies in the Atlantic, from Vigo, is a unique experience

Take the bus to Fisterra and make a stop in Carnota. Fantastic beach and outside of the Spanish holiday season nearly empty.

an amazing beach! the problem is, the best beaches are only accessible by car, I mean, the bus from Santiago to Fisterra, where you find unbelievable beaches, is at least a couple of hours long each way.
