O Grove is a peninsula at the mouth of the Arousa estuary, joined to the rest of the Salnés by the A Lanzada isthmus. Its town lives from the sea: the port, the fish market, the mussel rafts in plain view and the boats that set out to show them. Next to it, joined by a bridge, is the island of A Toxa, with its spas and the chapel covered in scallop shells. To the south, A Lanzada beach opens the peninsula to the Atlantic.

## How do I get there and where do I park?

By car, along the Salnés road and the A Lanzada isthmus, the only way in by land. From Pontevedra it takes a good half hour; from Santiago, a little over an hour along the AP-9 and the Salnés expressway. At the port there is free parking next to where the boats depart; on Fridays there is a street market and it fills up earlier. Cambados, the albariño town, is about half an hour away along the estuary coast, and combines well over two days.

## What do I do in a day?

In the morning, the mussel boat: an hour on the estuary with a stop at a raft and steamed mussels on board, for €20, with Cruceros Rías Baixas or Cruceros do Ulla. Have lunch at the port, at Beiramar or D'Berto. In the afternoon cross the bridge to A Toxa to see the Chapel of the Shells, and finish at the thermal club of one of its two spas, which open to non-guests: from €40 for the two-hour session at the Gran Hotel, by reservation.

## And if I stay longer?

With a second day, the peninsula offers open sea. At A Lanzada there are 2.5 km of sand and a wooden walkway through the dunes, and two schools give two-hour surf lessons from €35. From the A Siradella viewpoint, at 166 metres, you see the whole isthmus, and below, at San Vicente do Mar, the Pedras Negras path skirts coves with the Ons islands opposite. From May to September, the excursion to Sálvora takes you to the least-visited island in the Atlantic Islands National Park, with a guide, for €33.

## Where do I eat and sleep?

For a special meal, Culler de Pau, in Reboredo, with two Michelin stars, its own vegetable garden and menus from €210; closed Tuesday and Wednesday. In the centre, D'Berto is the seafood restaurant built on produce, and Beiramar the family house at the port. To sleep with the spa on the premises, on A Toxa: the five-star Gran Hotel La Toja, or the four-star Eurostars Isla de La Toja, with a seawater thermal club open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.

## When do I go?

From June to October. In summer boats leave every half hour and the beach is at its best. In the first weeks of October the Seafood Festival is held, with stalls in Praza do Corgo; in 2026 it ran from 1 to 12 October. In winter, O Grove is still a good plan for spa and seafood, with fewer boats and some restaurants closed.

## Dónde está
- Cerca: Cambados (a 4.7 km), Combarro and Pontevedra (a 14.8 km), Cíes Islands (a 30.5 km), Santiago de Compostela (a 50.2 km)

## Qué hacer
- **Mussel Boat on the Ría de Arousa from O Grove** (1 h · All ages · Desde 20 € per adult): The mussel boat is O Grove's classic outing: an hour by catamaran on the Ría de Arousa, a stop beside a batea (the floating platforms where mussels are raised), and a portion of steamed mussels with Galician wine or a soft drink on board. It leaves from the port, right in the centre, several times a day, and you don't need to know anything about boats or do any walking.
What you see from the catamaran
The boat heads towards the north of the peninsula. It passes the north coast of the island of A Toxa, Punta Moreiras and Meloxo, one of the areas with the most rafts in the ría, and in the distance you see the coast of Cambados, the south of Arousa island and the mouth of the ría, with Sálvora. At the raft the guide shows the growing ropes and explains how mussels, oysters and scallops are raised. The catamarans have underwater viewing, an area below deck with windows onto the seabed, to look through while the boat is stopped.
The mussels are steamed with a splash of white wine and served in their shell, freshly made. It is a tasting, not a meal: think of it as an aperitif.
Who to go with and how much it costs
Two O Grove shipping companies run the route, at the same price in 2026: €20 for adults, €10 for ages 3 to 12 and free for the youngest.

Cruceros Rías Baixas sails from March to December, with more departures at Easter and from July to September. The trip lasts an hour and can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before. Its ticket office is at Rúa Beiramar, 46.
Cruceros do Ulla sails all year, with a trip of an hour and a quarter and morning departures between 11:00 and 13:30 and afternoon ones between 17:00 and 19:00. It allows pets if you tell the ticket office before boarding.

Both are booked on their website, with a calendar of departures by day. With your booking, go to the port ticket office 15 to 30 minutes beforehand to exchange it for the ticket or boarding card. In July and August departures follow one another every half hour, according to the Mancomunidade do Salnés, but they fill up all the same: book the day before at the latest.
Getting there and parking
Boarding is at O Grove port, beside the catamaran station. There is free parking in the port area. On Fridays there is a market and parking is reduced, so arrive with time to spare or park further away.
After the boat, the centre is a stone's throw away: Beiramar, on the same port avenue, has cooked fish and seafood since 1980. If you carry on with an afternoon by the water, the A Toxa thermal club is ten minutes by car.
- **Thermal Club on A Toxa Without Staying at the Hotel** (2 h · Adults; children at reserved times · Desde 40 € per non-guest adult): A Toxa is a thermal island: from a well under its old spa comes sodium chloride water at about 41 ºC, according to the Mancomunidade do Salnés, and its muds made the island famous in the 19th century. Today there are two spas, those of the Eurostars Gran Hotel La Toja and Isla de La Toja hotels, and both open their thermal club, the circuit of pools, sauna and steam, to those not staying there. It is a two-hour plan for a rainy day or the end of the afternoon.
The two circuits
Gran Hotel La Toja. The most complete for a daytime visit. The session lasts two hours straight: Finnish sauna at 80–85 ºC, steam bath at 43–46 ºC, contrast and waterfall showers, heated bench, ice fountain, relaxation room and a heated indoor pool with jets, bubble beds and a whirlpool bath. It opens every day from 9:30 to 21:00. It costs €40 for adults and €28 for under-12s if you aren't staying at the hotel.
Eurostars Isla de La Toja. A complex of more than 4,000 m² with an indoor seawater pool, a small whirlpool pool, a contrast pool, steam, sauna and, in season, an outdoor seawater pool. Sessions are 90 minutes. From Sunday to Thursday it opens from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 21:00; on Friday and Saturday, in the evening, until midnight. Its listing publishes €29 for non-guests, but the spa's page refers you to check that price: ask when booking.
Booking and getting there
At both you must book beforehand by phone, because capacity is limited: the Gran Hotel on 986 806 710 and the Isla de La Toja on 986 730 050, extension 3. You drive onto the island over the bridge from O Grove, a few minutes from the port; the hotels have parking. Bring swimwear, flip-flops and a swimming cap, which the Isla de La Toja explicitly requires. Mobile phones and cameras are not allowed inside there either.
Before or after, walk across to the Shell Chapel, a few minutes' walk from the Gran Hotel. If you prefer to sleep here and go down to the circuit in a bathrobe, see the Gran Hotel La Toja or the Eurostars Isla de La Toja, where the session is cheaper.
With children
The Gran Hotel lets under-12s into the pool from 12:30 to 17:00, always with an adult. At the Isla de La Toja children have hours from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00; under-2s are not admitted, ages 2 to 11 go with an adult and ages 2 to 3 with a swim nappy.
- **The Shell Chapel and a Walk Around A Toxa Island** (1 h 30 · All ages; flat and pushchair-friendly · Free): The Shell Chapel (capilla de las Conchas) is the image of A Toxa: a small church with walls completely lined with scallop shells, in a garden beside the bridge that links the island to O Grove. You can see it in ten minutes, but it deserves a good hour if you add the walk around the island, the former spa and the story of the donkey who, according to legend, discovered the hot springs. Everything is flat, free and done on foot.
Why it is covered in scallop shells
The chapel of San Caralampio was designed by the Ourense architect Daniel Vázquez-Gulías and opened on 28 June 1909, without shells. The altar façade faces south and the rain battered it, with damp that wouldn't go away. In the late 1940s, the Marquis of Riestra, manager of the spa, called in a bricklayer from O Grove, Anselmo Millán, who proposed a traditional solution: overlapping scallop shells so the water would slide off without getting in. The Marquis liked the result so much that he had the whole chapel covered. The work took years and finished in the early fifties. The garden it stands in was once a salt pan, filled in at the beginning of the 20th century.
The walk around the island
Beside the chapel, a bronze sculpture recalls the legend collected by Emilia Pardo Bazán in 1899: a priest from O Grove left his donkey, ill with a skin complaint, on the island and, on returning, found it cured, rolling in the mud. In an enclosure at the entrance to the island live some donkeys that recall the story, which children like a lot. A few steps away is the shop-museum of La Toja salts and soaps, the brand of black soap made since 1905.
The stone building of the old spa, from 1928, has been closed since a fire in 1987; beneath it is A Burga, the hottest thermal well on the island. On the rest of the island there is woodland, a golf course, a casino and three hotels. In the woods, the Mancomunidade do Salnés also points out the Aldea dos Grobits, another draw for those with children.
Getting there and parking
A Toxa is joined to O Grove by a bridge from the early 20th century, reached on foot or by car from the centre of O Grove. The chapel is next to the island's entrance, near the Gran Hotel. To round off the visit, the A Toxa thermal club is open to the public at the spa's two hotels, with a reservation.
- **Boat Trip to Sálvora Island from O Grove** (4 h 30 · Families and anyone who can walk 4 km without difficulty · Desde 33 € per adult): Sálvora is the island that closes the mouth of the Ría de Arousa and the least visited in the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park. For centuries it was private and today, apart from the beach and the area around the lighthouse, it can only be toured in a group with an accredited guide. From O Grove you go by boat in the morning and return at lunchtime: four and a half hours in total, with about two and a half hours on land.
What you do on the island
The catamaran leaves O Grove at 10:00 and takes about 50 minutes to cross the ría. You disembark next to Almacén beach, the pazo (manor house), a former salting factory, and the statue of the Mermaid of Sálvora. From there two guided walks set off:

Lighthouse Route: about 2 km there and back, 45 to 60 minutes, among granite blocks shaped by erosion to the lighthouse at Punta Besugueiros. In its waters the ship Santa Isabel was wrecked, known as the Galician Titanic.
Hamlet Route: about 1.7 km there and back, 30 to 45 minutes, behind the pazo and the Santa Catalina fountain to the abandoned hamlet, with its granaries. The hamlet is declared a Bien de Interés Cultural as a cultural landscape.

At the end there is time on Almacén beach, the only one open to the public, for a swim before heading back. With luck you see the island's wild horses and sea birds. At 13:45 the boat leaves for O Grove, arriving around 14:30.
Price, season and booking
Cruceros do Ulla runs the excursion from May to September, with more departures in July and August, for €33 per adult and €15 for ages 3 to 12; the youngest don't pay. The ticket includes the visit with an accredited guide and the National Park permit, which the shipping company arranges. Book on its website, with the calendar for each day; you then exchange the tickets at the port ticket office and must be at the boarding gate 15 minutes beforehand. Cruceros Rías Baixas organises the same visit for groups, on any date of the year, with advance information.
Who it is for
For families with children who can walk for an hour without tiring and for anyone who wants an island without crowds. There are no bars or shops: bring water, something to eat, a cap and comfortable shoes. Pets are not allowed in the national park. If you are looking for an island with long beaches and routes for the whole day, the alternative is the Cíes Islands, visited from the Ría de Vigo.
- **Surf Lessons at A Lanzada Beach** (2 h · From age 6, no previous experience · Desde 35 € per person): A Lanzada is O Grove's surf beach: more than two kilometres of sand open to the Atlantic on the isthmus joining the peninsula with Sanxenxo, with waves that break at several peaks over a sandy bottom. It is good for learning because there is room for everyone and the waves, in spring and summer, are usually moderate. Two schools work right on the beach on the O Grove side, and both charge €35 for a two-hour lesson with all the equipment.
The two schools
Prado Surf has been giving lessons in Galicia since 1998. Its A Lanzada school is right on the beach, with changing rooms, an outdoor shower and an area to rinse the equipment. Lessons last two hours, with a maximum of six students per instructor and separate groups of children and adults, and you can start from age 6. They include board, wetsuit, rash vest and accessories. Course times by day: 10:00, 11:30, 13:00, 16:00, 17:30 and 19:00. One lesson costs €35, two €60 and five €135, with a discount for groups of four or more and for several members of one family. From October to May it has monthly weekend courses, from 11:00 to 13:00.
Grove Surf Club gives lessons in the Sanatorio area every day in summer, in the same six sessions. The rate from June to September 2026 is €35 for a two-hour lesson, €60 for the pass of two and €80 for three, with equipment, a qualified instructor and public liability and accident insurance. It also advertises winter courses.
What a first lesson is like
You change at the school, pick up the soft board and go down to the sand. The instructor explains a little about the sea, currents and safety, you warm up on the shore and practise in the foam, where it doesn't cover you. The best waves for learning come at low or mid tide, according to Prado Surf, so the school may suggest another session if the tide doesn't suit. Bring swimwear, a towel and sun cream; the school provides the wetsuit.
Getting there and parking
A Lanzada has several access points and parking on the beach itself, less than a kilometre from the Salnés motorway exit. From the centre of O Grove it is about ten minutes by car. After the lesson, the A Lanzada boardwalk runs through the dunes beside the sands, and to see the whole beach from above, climb to the A Siradella viewpoint.
- **A Lanzada Beach and the Boardwalk Through the Dunes** (2 h · 2.5 km · All ages · Free): A Lanzada is the longest stretch of sand in the province of Pontevedra and the gateway to O Grove: the road into the peninsula runs along the isthmus, between this beach open to the Atlantic and the marshes of the Ría de Arousa. In front of you are two and a half kilometres of white sand with Ons island opposite; behind, a protected dune system crossed by a wooden boardwalk.
The beach and the dunes
The O Grove side of A Lanzada faces west and south, to the open sea. It is a beach with waves, the one for the surf schools, so swim with care, especially on days with a swell. Prado Surf recalls that it was one of the first beaches to fly a Blue Flag.
The boardwalk runs parallel to the sea for about 2.5 km, over the dunes, within the Natura 2000 network. The Kentish plover, a protected bird, nests there: walk on the walkway and not on the dune sand. There are benches along the way and a viewpoint. If you still feel like it, continue south skirting the beaches of O Espiñeiro, A Lapa and Areas Gordas to the hill fort and the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de A Lanzada, already in Sanxenxo.
The other side of the isthmus
On the ría shore, the eastern edge of the isthmus, is an intertidal area with bird hides from which migratory species can be seen. It is part of the Umia-O Grove Intertidal Complex, one of the two protected areas that touch the isthmus. Bring binoculars.
Getting there and parking
By car, along the isthmus road, the only way into O Grove by land. There are several access points and parking next to the beach itself, less than a kilometre from the motorway exit. In August, go early. To see the whole beach from above, the A Siradella viewpoint is a few minutes by car.
The rules on dogs on the beach are set by the Concello; we haven't found them published, so ask at the tourist office before going with yours.
- **A Siradella Viewpoint and the Pedras Negras Walk at San Vicente** (2 h 30 · All ages · Free): Two stops in the western half of the peninsula, a few minutes by car from each other: above, the highest point of O Grove, with A Lanzada beach and the Ons islands at your feet; below, at San Vicente do Mar, a wooden walkway that skirts the coast among rocks, coves and small beaches. Together they fill a morning or an afternoon without paying anything and without booking.
The A Siradella viewpoint
Monte A Siradella rises 166 metres above the sea. At the top there are two viewpoints: the first, next to the Aula da Natureza and at the foot of an enormous piedra caballera (rocking stone), a large rock balanced on another, is easy to reach; the second, next to a geodetic marker a few metres higher, is reached by a path. From there you see the isthmus and the tongue of sand that separates the Ría de Arousa from the Atlantic, the whole of A Lanzada beach, the Ons archipelago and, on clear days, the Cíes.
You drive up and walk only the last 250 metres. There is a large car park and a picnic area with stone tables and benches, so it is a good place for a sandwich lunch.
The Pedras Negras walk
At San Vicente do Mar, the walk starts at the Pedras Negras marina and continues on wooden walkways right beside the sea, adapted to the rocks and marked with large stones shaped by erosion. It skirts the beaches of Burato da Londra, Farruco and A Barrosa, passes between rocks at the cove of Fervide and ends at the viewpoint of Canelas beach, just before an old military battery. There are benches along the way to sit with the Ons islands in front of you.
If you have energy left, continue along the coast around the battery: the path links with the PR-G 116 Con Negro, one of the parish's two waymarked routes. Near San Vicente are also the archaeological site of Adro Vello, a Bien de Interés Cultural, and the Quinteiro de Temperán, an interpretation centre for rural culture.
How to organise it
Go up first to A Siradella in the morning light or at the end of the afternoon, when the sun sinks over Ons, and then go down to San Vicente. Leave the car at the Pedras Negras port and do the walk to Canelas and back the same way. With a dog, keep it on a lead on the walkway; on the beaches, ask the rules first at the tourist office. For lunch nearby, Culler de Pau is in Reboredo, a few minutes by car; book beforehand.
- **O Grove Seafood Festival** (All ages): The Festa do Marisco (Seafood Festival) is O Grove's big festival: it has been held since 1963, every October, at the port. For about ten days, Praza do Corgo and its surroundings are covered with marquees, more than 5,000 m², with stalls where the ría's seafood is cooked in front of you. The 2026 edition ran from 1 to 12 October; 2027 has no announced dates yet.
How it works
You don't pay at the stalls. You buy tickets at the central ticket offices and exchange them for portions at the stands. There are no tables to sit at: you eat standing, at high tables, as at a fair. Drinks are served in a reusable cup with the festival's logo, for which a deposit of 60 cents is left. Smoking is not allowed inside the marquees, and animals are not allowed in the areas where food is served.
Besides eating, the festival teaches you to tell local seafood from that which comes from elsewhere. There is a mussel dish competition organised by the Amegrove cooperative, live cooking demonstrations and gastronomic days, A Cociña do Mar, courses and talks on the sea's resources, and an international open-air sculpture symposium held every two years.
Music, regattas and children
In the evenings the Seafood Concerts play and there is traditional Galician music and dance. The programme adds children's games, a cycling parade, a popular race and dorna regattas, the area's traditional sailing boats.
How to get there
Praza do Corgo is at the port, next to the fish market, the town hall and the tourist office, which provides each year's programme. On those days parking in the centre is difficult: leave the car at the entrance to the town and walk in. If you are going to stay, book months ahead; the A Toxa hotels are a walk from the port. And if you are left wanting mussels, the mussel boat still sails in October.

## As a family: Mussel Boat, Donkeys on A Toxa and a First Wave at A Lanzada

O Grove works with children because almost everything is short: an hour's boat trip, a flat walk around A Toxa, a long beach. What they like most is watching the mussels come out of the water at the raft and eating them on board.

### What works best

Surfing at A Lanzada: from age 6 with Prado Surf, in separate children's groups

A Siradella viewpoint: you drive up and there is a picnic area with stone tables

### Sleep
Both A Toxa hotels have a thermal club with hours for children: at the Isla de La Toja, from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00, from age 2; at the Gran Hotel, the pool from 12:30 to 17:00 for under-12s

### Eat
Beiramar, at the port, next to the boat's boarding point

At the Seafood Festival, in October, there are children's games; you eat standing

### Keep in mind
A Lanzada is a beach with waves: keep the children in sight in the water
