Reboredo combines a distinctive coastal landscape with a maritime cultural theme. Area de Reboredo beach is surrounded by woodland; the area is also connected to the Ruta del Mar de Arousa y Ulla on the Way of St. James. Between Reboredo and San Vicente do Mar, there is also a small coastal lagoon and an open coastline with changing stretches of beach and rock. Salgadeiras de Moreiras adds a cultural highlight, while the Festa da Salga provides a seasonal occasion. This gives you a clear question to consider when choosing your destination: should the focus be the coast, an activity on the water or maritime history?

Coast Between Beach, Lagoon and Rock

Area de Reboredo is a beach with white, coarse-grained sand, surrounded by woodland in a rural setting. Along the open coast between Reboredo and San Vicente do Mar, small sandy beaches alternate with a gently sloping rocky coast. These are two distinct landscapes to consider: one features sand, woodland and a rural setting, while the other alternates between small beaches and rocks.

A Bodeira is a small coastal lagoon between Reboredo and San Vicente do Mar, and the only one of its kind in the province of Pontevedra. As a distinct coastal feature, it complements the beach and rocky landscape.

Paths and Activities on the Water

A footpath connects Punta Moreiras with the beach area of Area das Pipas. Another connection is to the Way of St. James: Area de Reboredo is linked to the Ruta del Mar de Arousa y Ulla. These two details can be seen as different aspects of a trip: the footpath links two specific coastal points, while the other connection links Area de Reboredo thematically with the Way of St. James.

Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available to rent at Kiosco Areaso on Area de Reboredo beach; guided tours are also offered. Availability may vary by season. It is worth distinguishing between the options as you plan: rentals focus on kayaks and SUPs, while guided activities focus on tours. If one of these activities is to be a highlight of your stay, check availability in advance.

Maritime Culture and the Festa da Salga

The Salgadeiras de Moreiras complex consists of two buildings, several paths and sculptures in its surroundings.

The Festa da Salga takes place in the last week of August in the museum space of Salgadeiras de Moreiras in Reboredo. The programme includes guided tours of the museum facilities and a public demonstration of fishing with a boliche net at nearby Praia da Mexilhoeira. The programme thus combines tours of the museum facilities with a demonstration on the beach. If you are planning specifically to attend the Festa da Salga, check the dates for the relevant year.
