Praia Fedorento is conveniently located near the town center and the port, making it easily accessible by foot or car. The beach is served by the interurban route from Vigo to A Guarda, which is just 0.5 km away, providing an option for public transportation. As part of the Caminho de Santiago, the beach attracts both locals and tourists.
The beach is equipped with facilities for disabled access, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the beach. For those traveling by car, an unguarded parking lot with less than 50 spaces is available. However, due to its location right at the entrance of the town and its popularity during the summer months, parking can be competitive.
