Carnota Beach

Carnota Beach

Galicia’s longest beach, just minutes from Casa Mestra.

Carnota Beach stretches for over 7 kilometers, making it the longest beach in Galicia and one of the most breathtaking in all of Spain. Its crescent shape of fine golden sand and crystal-clear Atlantic waters creates a landscape that feels untouched and wild. Surrounded by dunes, wetlands, and a shallow lagoon, the area is rich in biodiversity, attracting nature lovers and birdwatchers alike. At low tide, the beach can reach up to 1 kilometer in width, offering an expansive sense of space and freedom. In 2025, Carnota Beach was named one of the “100 Best Beaches in the World” by the German magazine Traum Strände. The dramatic silhouette of nearby Monte Pindo—often called the “Galician Olympus”—adds a mythical backdrop to this already magical destination.
