03 · Location

In context.

A 500 m fine white-sand beach, about 20 m wide, fully sheltered inside a ría, with some pebble and rocky sections. Calm, gentle waves make it unsuitable for surfing, kitesurfing, or windsurfing, but suited to flat-water swimming and paddleboarding. There is no vehicle access — reaching it is on foot via a path in poor condition — and no dedicated lifeguard post, though a shared patrol/rescue boat covers nearby beaches.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
