Cabañas was an unfortunate experience for us. We stayed for 4 nights in a hotel right by the beach, and there were plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. However, the beach and water were not taken care of at all. It was filled with toilet paper, bottles, and the smell of dead fish was unbearable. We were not alone in not wanting to go into the water. We won't be returning to Cabañas due to the fact that it did not live up to expectations.
Perbes Beach is a sight to behold. It may not be large, but it boasts a stunning landscape, with the other side of the estuary in the backdrop and rocky outcrops on either side. The copse on the right adds to its rustic beauty.
Chanteiro's beach is an idyllic spot for a day of swimming, sunbathing and relaxation. The beach is small but perfect for a peaceful day in the sun, and there's a charming beach bar nearby. Camping and other amenities are also available in the area.
After being disappointed by the beach with permanent prohibited bathing, we arrived at this beach only to find a similar sign, which was hardly visible. It's a shame that the signage wasn't more prominently displayed at the entrance. Despite that, the beach had waves and plenty of seaweed. We just hope nothing bad happens to us. Needless to say, we won't be visiting the beaches of Pontedeume again.
