About Playa de Niñeiriños
Niñeiriños is a small, quiet beach on the northern shore of the Ría de Arousa, a couple of kilometres outside A Pobra do Caramiñal in A Coruña province. It is a narrow strip, about 250 metres long but only a few metres deep, of white sand backed by a pine wood, with the calm, sheltered water typical of the inner ría and wide views across the inlet. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of naturist tradition. It is reached only on foot, which keeps numbers low; federation data rate occupancy as low. The federation lists a lifeguard, but there are no showers or other facilities beyond litter bins. Because the sand strip is narrow, at high tide space is limited and towels end up close to the trees. The calm water makes it a gentle swimming spot compared with the open Atlantic beaches further west.
Getting there
From A Pobra do Caramiñal take the paved forest road that leaves the town; from it a signposted, easy dirt footpath leads down to the beach through the pines. The beach is about 2.5 km from the town's harbour. The nearest interurban bus stop is about 2 km away. There is no beach car park, so leave the car where the forest road allows. The path is not suitable for wheelchairs.
Amenities
Legal context
Public nudity is not an offence in Spain, and the Spanish Naturist Federation (FEN) lists Niñeiriños as a beach of naturist tradition. There is no municipal designation, and some directories list it as an ordinary beach, so nude use is customary (2026).
Naturism at Playa de Niñeiriños sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
