Praia de San Bartolo is a small, charming beach located in A Mariña Lucense, a region in Galicia, Spain. The beach is approximately 250 meters long and is surrounded by cliffs. It is known for its fine sand and crystal clear water. However, the beach's access points are quite deteriorated.
The beach's size and appearance can change dramatically depending on the tide. At low tide, it becomes a large sandy area, ideal for taking a walk and enjoying the coast. It is also during this time that one can walk for kilometers along the shore. When the tide is high, the beach transforms into a small cove. Despite the change in size, there is still ample space for beachgoers.
The beach is close to the town of Foz, separated only by an estuary. There are amenities in the area, including bars and a kiosk on the beach itself. However, it's worth noting that the beach can be affected by the Portuguese Man-of-war during the summer.
You can enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the bars situated on the beach.
Visitor reviews highlight the charm of the small beach with its fine sand, crystal clear water, and surrounding cliffs. They particularly enjoy the expansive sandy area during low tide, which is perfect for walks and appreciating the coastal scenery. However, complaints were made about the deteriorated access to the beach and the presence of Portuguese Man-of-war during the summer.
Visitors to Praia de San Bartolo often stay in the nearby town of Foz, which offers a range of accommodations and is easily accessible by car. While some visitors come specifically for the beach, others enjoy exploring the broader A Mariña Lucense region, making Foz a convenient base for their travels.
