Info

Wind, waves and dunes in the beautiful surroundings of Xagó

The long stretch of sand at Xagó (around two kilometres) is a beautiful beach with golden sand and wind-formed dunes of great scientific value. Although it is very popular, its sheer size means it remains a peaceful beach. It has strong waves, making it ideal for kitesurfing , though swimmers are advised to exercise caution.

It is a very open beach and highly exposed to north-easterly winds. For this reason, it is used for paragliding , launching from the high cliffs of Cabo Negro, so named for the dark slate rocks that form it.

 

  • From 13 June to 8 September: every day
  • Availability of a defibrillator in the ambulance service.

  • However, access to these beaches with domestic and companion animals during these times may be restricted for reasons of public interest arising from maintenance work and municipal activities carried out during the summer season.
