Praia De Patos is a well-regarded beach situated in Nigrán, in the Rias Baixas region. It is celebrated for its breathtaking sandy shore and the magnificent views it offers of the Cies Islands. The beach is especially attractive to sports enthusiasts, particularly surfers, and even has locations conducive to the sport. Furthermore, it is located adjacent to the Monteferro forest, creating opportunities for hiking and enjoying the natural scenery.
The beach is also appreciated for its fine-textured sand and the variety of services it provides, particularly during the summer season. Visitors can enjoy a range of dining options available along the seafront, which contributes to a vibrant atmosphere. However, for services such as pharmacies or banks, a short trip to the nearby town of Panxón is required.
The beach is equipped with several amenities for the convenience of visitors. These include shower and foot-washing facilities as well as public toilets in certain areas of the beach. Additionally, pets are permitted on the beach throughout the year, apart from the summer months of June, July, and August.
Parking at Praia De Patos is generally available, with numerous free parking areas in the vicinity. However, finding a parking spot can be challenging during the busy summer months due to the beach's popularity. The beach also has designated areas for caravans, making it a suitable destination for both day visits and longer stays. Despite its popularity, especially in the summer, it generally does not get overcrowded, allowing visitors to enjoy a relatively peaceful beach experience.
