Playa de Escarabote is a small, tranquil beach located in the municipality of Boiro, adjacent to the port of Escarabote. The beach is characterized by its fine white sands, although some visitors have noted the presence of stones and tile fragments. Despite this, the beach is considered safe for children due to its shallow depth.
The natural features of Playa de Escarabote contribute to its charm and tranquility. During low tide in the morning, small islands form, providing a unique and enjoyable experience, especially for children. A forested area near the beach provides shade from the intense midday sun. From the beach, visitors can enjoy impressive views of the estuary, Cabo de Cruz, and bateas. There is also the possibility of spotting a type of dolphin known as Arruas.
Playa de Escarabote provides a variety of amenities for visitors. These include large toilets and changing rooms, as well as showers. The beach is situated next to a children's park, enhancing its family-friendly appeal. A more than 2 km promenade by the sea features beach bars, and there are restaurants in close proximity to the beach, offering a range of dining options.
Despite its amenities and natural beauty, Playa de Escarabote is not typically crowded, making it an ideal destination for those seeking peace and tranquility. This is attributed to the quiet nature of the town in which it is located, which is not a major tourist hub.
The beach boasts easy access and ample parking, making it a convenient destination for visitors. Additionally, a beautiful walking route between the port of Escarabote and La Ribeiriña offers visitors the opportunity to take in the typical coastal landscape of the Ría de Arousa in silence and appreciate views of Boiro and A Pobra do Caramiñal.
