Beaches in El Franco

Porcía

Triangular-shaped beach with high occupancy, featuring small marshes and dunes, as well as wooded areas.

Cambaredo

Narrow, elongated and pebbly beach, of great ecological value. With little public influx, it is surrounded by high cliffs reforested with pines, like the vast majority of western beaches.

Pormenande

It is a beach of great beauty and very safe, despite being rocky. A small tombolo connects it on its right side to the islet El Rego, whose summit can be reached via a path.
