Playa Bastiagueiriño

Bastiagueiriño (Bastiagueiro Pequeno) is a small, secluded cove in Oleiros, on the east side of A Coruña bay, next to the much larger urban beach of Bastiagueiro. It has a special place in Spanish naturism: according to the Spanish Naturist Federation it was the first nude beach authorised in Galicia, in 1984, at a time when public nudity could still be prosecuted under the 'public scandal' offence abolished in 1988. The cove is roughly 120 to 200 metres long and 20 metres wide, a mix of rounded stones, gravel and darker sand, with moderate waves. Access is awkward, which keeps it quiet, and visitor numbers are low even in high season. There are no services at all, unlike the main Bastiagueiro beach next door, which has lifeguards and facilities, so bring water and supplies. Other spots in Oleiros with nudist use include the Camposa and Margaritas beaches.
