La Santa

Tinajo

A former fishing village turned world surf reference. The ría — an old tidal channel — leaves a stretch of sheltered white sand, while right offshore breaks El Quemao, one of the most serious waves in Europe.

Watch out for

El Quemao is for expert surfers only — a dangerous wave, not a swimming spot. The wind also blows almost constantly here.
