Access Authorisation for As Catedrais Beach (Xunta)

The authorisation to go down to the As Catedrais sands is issued by the Xunta de Galicia, free of charge, at ascatedrais.xunta.gal. It is compulsory at Easter and from 1 July to 30 September; the rest of the year access is free. It is requested at most 30 days ahead, for a specific day and in the name of each visitor: one person can request it for a group of up to 25 with everyone's details (under-14s don't need a document). When you choose a date, the website tells you that day's low tides. With the authorisation you can also request a free guided visit. Everything you need to know before going is in the listing for As Catedrais beach at low tide.
