Rodas Beach in Cies Islands, Vigo: Information, Webcam, Weather and Map

The Cíes Islands are a group of small islands located along the mouth of the Vigo estuary. This wonderful archipelago is formed by three main islands, Illa Moenteagudo, Illa Do Faro and Illa San Martiño, a natural paradise within walking distance of the city of Vigo, which was declared a Natural Park in 1980 and included in the M-T National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia created in 2002, along with the island of Ons, the island of Sálvora and Cortegada.

Among the islands there is a singular beach, Rodas Beach, a particular geographical formation, which joins the islands of Illa Moenteagudo and Illa Do Faro. An extensive sandy beach of fine sand away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. It is not surprising that before such a magnificent place the beach is in possession of the title of being “The Best Beach in the World” according to the British newspaper “The Guardian”.

In the hidden coasts of the Cíes Islands, hides the Rodas Beach, a singular tongue of sand that joins Illa do Faro with Illa Monteagudo. This fantastic beach could not be in a better place, as its sandy area is bathed both by the waters of the Ria de Vigo and behind it by Lago dos Nenos. An idyllic beach of white and fine sands that contrast with the turquoise blue of the waters that flood it. At the ends of Rodas Beach is an incredible natural environment, which is why it has the category of Parque Nacional das Illas Atlánticas. Numerous are the green meadows and dark forests that colonize both islands, looking for their place among the rocks and cliffs. The paths that crisscross the shafts of the pine forests and the trails that cross the rocky ridges offer wonderful scenery.

Undoubtedly a place where you can do many activities, such as excursions with friends and family and discover the islands together. But do not limit yourself to discovering the secrets of its surface, dive under its waters and discover a new place thanks to the practice of diving or scuba diving, activities offered by local adventure companies. If you have experience as a sailor you can approach on your own to these wonderful coasts renting a boat in the nautical port of Vigo.

To access the islands is necessary to take a ferry in the city of Vigo, once the landing is made, the tours are done on foot. The area has good accessibility. Once located in the dock different wooden walkways appear to our meeting. Most of these main paths leading to the different beaches do not have steep slopes, so the coast is suitable for everyone. Due to the journey that must be made to reach its sands, the beach is not usually very crowded in high season. If you want to stay as long as possible in this wonderful place, the lighthouse island has a campsite where you can stay, either in tents or in comfortable bungalows.
