About Praia de Porto Carrizo

Porto Carrizo is a small, sheltered cove next to Pantín beach in Valdoviño, A Coruña, divided from it by a low cliff. It is about 200 m of fine golden sand with calm water, protected from the wind that often blows on Pantín. It has no services of its own (no showers), relying on its neighbour. FEN reports that Valdoviño council declared it a nudist beach in 2010; FEN rates use as high, though other guides describe it as quiet. Note: the Spanish Naturist Federation is the only source we found that reports nude bathing here, and other guides do not mention it. Nude use may be occasional or limited to the quieter end, so expect most visitors to be clothed and check on arrival.

Getting there

Follow signs to Pantín beach in Valdoviño and park there; Porto Carrizo is a short walk away beside it. Pantín's facilities are the nearest.

Legal context

Spain has no national law against public nudity. FEN reports that Valdoviño council declared Porto Carrizo nudist in 2010; we did not find this on an official page (checked 2026).

Naturism at Praia de Porto Carrizo sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
