Info
Wind, waves and dunes in the beautiful surroundings of Xagó
The extensive sandy beach of Xagó (about two kilometres) is a beautiful beach of golden sand and aeolian dunes of high scientific value. Although it is very crowded, its extension makes it a quiet beach. It has a strong swell, which makes it very suitable for surfing and makes it advisable to swim with caution.
It is a very open beach and very exposed to north-easterly winds. For this reason it is used for the practice of paragliding, from the high cliffs of Cape Negro, so called because of the dark slates that form it.
Rescue service
- Daily: 14/6 to 14/09
- Availability of defibrillator in the rescue service.
