As far as I’ve heard, Praia de Pantín is a world known beach for surfing. They even have competitions here. Well, not in summer I guess. We arrived after a nice drive along the coast from Valdoviño beach (where we stopped before - it was so crowded there) and checked out the parking-camping situation on both ends of the bay. The western side has a greener bit where we could stay, but the walk to the beach would be longer. There is a river meandering towards the ocean. The other side is more of a parking lot but seems to have cool vibes and views as well; and a way shorter walk to the surf spot.
We decided to stay on the eastern end and had more or less two very chill days with a bit of surfing. The water was quite flat and you really had to wait for a wave, but it’s still good practice. Some surf schools were there - especially for kids - but there was enough room for everyone. We talked to some other campers and just had a good time here (once went to Ferrol for groceries and to escape the heat).
Fun-not-so-fun-fact: all public toilets on beaches up there are closed. Why?Read more
