Review & FAQ:

Dubbed the most adventurous beach in Spain, Playa de las Catedrales is home to a series of incredible rock formations that are visible during low tide times. The stunning sea caves and rock pillars sit in the Bay of Biscay just ten kilometers away from the town of Ribadeo.

Playa de las Catedrales is often crowded during the two low tide times of each day, but if travelers visit the beach around 8:00 PM, they can usually skip the crowds and get a glimpse of the sunset. August is the best time to visit this beautiful coastal area. Map
