The nearest official dog beaches to Sanxenxo are the two adjacent coves of O Espiño (about 75 m) and O Portiño (about 50 m) at San Vicente do Mar, beside the Pedras Negras marina, with coarse white sand and calm, sheltered water. As designated praias caninas they are open to dogs year-round with no summer ban.
Rules: Dogs must be microchipped and vaccinated, kept under control and not disturbing other users, with waste picked up. Potentially dangerous breeds must be leashed and muzzled.
