Sanxenxo's best dog walking is its coastline: the flat Silgar-Baltar promenade, the Punta Vicaño headland park, and the wild dunes of A Lanzada. Under Galician rules dogs must be leashed in public and off the sand during the summer bathing season, so these promenades and headlands are the year-round option.

A public park on the Punta Vicaño headland between the Silgar and Baltar beaches, on the seafront promenade, with lawns, viewpoints and shade. Leashed dogs are welcome on the paths, and it is a cool spot on a hot afternoon.
Off-leash zone: On-leash only
💡 It sits mid-way along the promenade, an easy rest point between Silgar and Baltar
Sanxenxo's flagship promenade runs about 6 km round trip from the marina past the Silgar and Baltar beaches and Punta Vicaño park to Caneliñas beach in Portonovo. It is a flat, on-leash coastal walk with constant sea views, ideal year-round when the beaches themselves are closed to dogs in summer.
Off-leash zone: On-leash only
💡 Walk early or late in summer; the promenade is exposed and busy at midday
The vast A Lanzada beach and its dunes and chapel-topped headland form a wild natural area on the isthmus toward O Grove, superb for an off-season leashed walk with big Atlantic views. Dogs are banned from the sand in the summer bathing season, but the headland paths and off-season sand are wonderful.
Off-leash zone: On-leash only; dunes are protected
💡 Keep to the paths, the dunes are a protected habitat, and mind strong Atlantic currents
