Praia dos Viños

The little beach Praia dos Viñosis on the Cíes Islands is located near the more famous Praia das Rodas and is usually seen as a quieter alternative. The name translates to “beach of the wines” although there are no obvious clues as to why this is the case!

The beach has fine white sand and clear turquoise waters, typical of the Cíes Islands. Like other beaches in the area, the water can be quite cold due to the Atlantic currents. It is a good spot for relaxing, enjoying the scenery, and swimming, though the cool temperatures may be a challenge for some visitors.

The Cíes Islands are a protected area, so visitor numbers are controlled, and there are no hotels or permanent buildings.
