Langosteira beach

Playa Langosteira, Playa de Langosteira beach, Playa de Langosteira
Spain, Santiago de Compostela
Langosteira Beach is located in the Galician city of Fisterra and stretches for 2 km from Cape San Roque to Cape Pombeira beyond the village of Escaselas. The beach is covered with white sand, with many scallop shells after low tide, when the width of the beach reaches 50-70 meters. The warmest month is July. The beach is well protected from strong winds and ocean waves by Cape Finisterre (Fisterra), the extreme point of which is located 3 km away.
This area is the logical conclusion of the walking pilgrimage "Way of St. James" to the relics of the Apostle James in the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela. Not far from the beach there is a monument to the pilgrim, and on Cape Finisterre there is a zero kilometer sign, from where St. James began his journey.
The search for especially beautiful shells is one of the activities of holidaymakers on Playa de Langosteira. And shells were also a hallmark of pilgrims following the route of St. James, images of shells adorn buildings along the way.

Playa de Langosteira has almost 2 kilometers of coastline, characterized by calm, clear water and quality sand. Well protected from waves and winds. But! This is all in good weather. Unfortunately, I got to this beach in the rain, so my acquaintance with Langosteira was a little "wetted" : ) According to reviews, on this beach you can find amazingly beautiful shells. The same shells that are then sold to us, tourists, in numerous souvenir shops along the coast. But, I didn’t find particularly large shells, I collected a collection of small ones.
