Lots of rocks and rip tides. It is part of what is called Costa da Morte, I believe.
So tragic. May he rest in peace.Local news websites have reported the death of an Irish pilgrim near Finisterre after he got into difficulties while swimming in the sea late last night (Thursday 26 September). Although his friends were eventually able to recover him from the water they were not able to revive him.

Being a Celtic Pilgrim and starting my Camino on Sunday Im particularly touched by this tragic loss of a young man cut off at his prime. I lived in Finisterre for 2 weeks at end of my Camino and despite being by the ocean I never felt the call into the water. I hope this young Pilgrim found what he was looking for and wonder if he was aware of the folklore that the ‘End of the World’ on the mythical and dangerous Costa da Morte (Coast of Death) was believed to be home to Ara Solis, an ancient altar dedicated to sun worshiping; some say created by the Phoenicians, some say by Celtic tribes.
It is also here that pre-christian comunities believed the Land of the Living touched the Land of the Death. RIP

Extremely sad and resonates a little with my situation as I have a brother of a similar age who works in family construction business in Derry. I left the business last year and walked the Camino. A very sad time for the Cork community. From one rebel county to another. My heartfelt condolencesCork man drowns in tragic swimming incident on the Camino
I've been to that lovely beach twice in late May and spent time away from the crowds breathing in the beauty and solitude. Never saw anyone swimming though.
I wonder what the problem with it is...rip tide currents possibly?
