Playa A Lamiña is a picturesque beach located in A Guarda, a town in the province of Pontevedra, Spain. The beach is nestled on the border between Spain and Portugal, adjacent to the mouth of the Miño River. This serene coastal spot is known for its tranquility and relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a quiet getaway.
Spanning over 2 kilometers, Playa A Lamiña boasts white sand and cool, clear water. The temperature and clarity of the water vary with the tide. During high tide, the water turns crystal clear and ice-cold, while during low tide, the water becomes warmer due to the river flow. The beach's width also varies with the tide, stretching up to 70 meters at low tide and shrinking to 20 meters at high tide.
Surrounding the beach is a forested walking area, enhancing its natural appeal. The coastal facade also features dunes and pine trees, adding to the overall charm of the location. Despite its beauty, Playa A Lamiña is not heavily crowded, making it an ideal location for families, especially those with children.
For visitor convenience, there are amenities such as toilets, showers, and trash bins available on the beach. There is also a children's play area for families to enjoy. However, the beach does not have any restaurants, rental services for hammocks or umbrellas, sports or nautical clubs, and scuba diving is not practiced here. Nudism is also not allowed on this beach.
Access to Playa A Lamiña is quite straightforward. Visitors can reach the beach by foot or by car. For those driving, there is a large parking area accommodating more than 100 spaces. The parking area, though not monitored, is conveniently situated a stone's throw from the water. For those opting for public transport, the beach can be reached by interurban bus from Vigo, Tui, and A Guarda. The nearest hospital, Hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro, is 56 kilometers away, ensuring medical assistance in case of emergencies.
