Go down to the beach at low water and look at the pools at the foot of the arches. If you walk to the next beaches, watch the time, because the shore is flat and the water returns fast.

anemones, crabs, barnacles, limpets, seaweeds
What to do: wildlife watching
Shellfish and sanitary status: In Galicia, shellfish gathering (marisqueo) is reserved for licensed professionals, and amateur gathering is treated as poaching. The beach is also a natural monument, so take nothing.
