Praia de Covas

Praia de Covas is a vast, sweeping beach just outside the town of Viveiro, where you can drop anchor and enjoy the view of a long sandy shoreline backed by a promenade. It's a relaxed, unhurried spot with the small town's amenities within easy reach if you head ashore by dinghy. The scale of the beach means you'll rarely feel crowded, and the setting — open Atlantic-facing with green hills behind — is genuinely striking.
