Info
Wind, waves and dunes in the beautiful surroundings of Xagó
The long stretch of beach at Xagó (around two kilometres) is a beautiful beach with golden sand and wind-formed dunes of great scientific value. Although it is very busy, its sheer size means it is a peaceful beach. It has strong waves, making it ideal for surfing, though you should exercise caution when swimming.
It is a very open beach and highly exposed to north-easterly winds. For this reason, it is used for paragliding , with take-off from the high cliffs of Cabo Negro, so named for the dark slate rocks that form it.
Rescue service
- From 13 June to 8 September: every day
Accessible points
- A defibrillator is available at the first-aid post.
If you travel with your pet you should know that...
- The access and presence of any kind of domestic or pet animals on the beaches, in the waters and in the bathing areas of Gozón is prohibited between 1 May and 30 September each year, except on the beaches of La Ribera (the section to the left of the central ramp) and Llumeres (the beach area), where domestic and pet animals are permitted between 7.00 am and 10.00 am and between 8.00 pm and midnight.
- However, access to these beaches with domestic and pet animals may be restricted during these times for reasons of public interest arising from maintenance work and municipal activities carried out during the summer season. Furthermore, outside the summer season, access to Bañugues beach with domestic and companion animals may be restricted by means of a municipal notice during periods of bird migration.
- In the case of stray animals wandering on the beach, their owners shall be held responsible for them. The person in possession of an animal, without prejudice to the owner’s subsidiary liability, shall be liable for any damage or harm caused to people, facilities and the environment in general.
- Anyone who breaches these prohibitions or fails to comply with the conditions set out above must leave the beach immediately with the animal upon verbal instruction from law enforcement officers, who will draw up a report with a view to initiating the appropriate disciplinary proceedings.
